From office, to bowling, to life - the real issue, have you experienced losing? A poem.
Failure, frustration, and losing –
The volatile and deathly signs assured of those
Most consumed with ambivalence, prejudice, and pride –
Depend rather heavily on the poor judgment of their victims…

Never learn too quickly or play too loosely;
Apply grace, wisdom, and flexible strategies
To gain proper acceptance and acknowledgment,
While affording the witty, compliant nonsense
Of the people and professionals around you.

This will earn you the respect
Of those wise and candid business folks
Whose sporty brokering and enticing mettle
You shall depend on most to guide you
Through your saintly or ungodly days…
