exactly @lindahas, all the more reasons giving "tips" generally always leads to more heartache for both parties. People generally rather blame others for their failings than themselves.

What many don't realize is that there's nothing wrong with failing, or losing. I do it all the time. The key is to keep at it, to keep going, and focus on keeping your "losses" relatively small when you have them. Then, every so often, you just might smack one out of the park, generally when you least expect it. And if you can focus on keeping those, the rest should just work itself out in the long run! :)
