			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-789" style="margin: -2px 8px;" title="Blackjack" src="http://www.andrewknight.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/blackjack-table.jpg" alt="Blackjack" width="320" height="240" />Nobody likes losing, especially me. Unfortunately that happened to me last night, losing at the casino, specifically blackjack. However even as I write this, feeling saddened and distraught, this is a positive. Everything in life is about learning, growing and advancing, we all know that though it all comes down to perception and the willing to advance and move forward.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure if there is a thing called luck due to everything being a variable and variables constantly change (even though I define myself as unlucky) however, both of those things are my perception and in order to grow from negatives, I need to acknowledge what has happened, why its happened and how I can prevent or improve next time.</p>
<p>I walked into the Treasury Casino in Brisbane at 6:30PM with $70 and left an hour later minus that. At one particular point, <strong>I was winning in blackjack</strong>, up $20, however I played on with the belief I was there to spend that either way. This is quite interesting due to the fact on how your has this perception of you &#8220;may&#8221; win and that the exciting part, though your mind also thinks on the side, call it your &#8220;sensible&#8221; side &#8211; &#8220;If I lose, how will it affect me?&#8221; These I believe are vital points in winning and losing.</p>
<p>We should always celebrate winning (<strong>especially winning in blackjack!</strong>) and losing, rather than degrading ourselves. The more we understand why we lost, the better we can remedy it.</p>
