Anyone can take a win and it demands a gentleman or lady to take a loss. Keep in mind that it is possible to make it an art rather than something strange to take a setback. So, be a gentleman or lady and become a setback artist.

4 steps to handle setbacks better
- Accept the setback
It is ok to be frustrated, irritated or sad when having a setback.
The essential thing here is to be humble about that it perhaps was meant to be this time.
Use explanations instead of excuses and negotiations about why the setback occurred. - Give it enough time to go over
Remember that frustration, irritation or whatever feeling you have need to be processed and come out of your system so you can move on.
The important thing is to release the emotions.
Avoid aging. If you end up in such a situation, I think you should talk to someone to get a perspective on things. - Reflect on what you can learn from the setback
Think about what you can do differently next time, if there is a next time.
The important thing is that what you can influence is from where you are now and onward, what has happened can never be affected. - Set achievable intermediate goals
When you have reflected on what you can do differently for the future, it may be a good idea to set goals that are achievable just to make you successful.
It’s about programming the feeling that goals can be achieved.
