Maybe, maybe not. Depends on what you compete in, or about. Some say there are hearts and love to win. Others will have something else. I guess most will have something in their life that could be defined as a win. Hmm.
When you think of things in terms of winning or losing, you have set values that are not necessarily real. If it assuages the ego to feel something is gained and the ego has triumphed for whatever reason, then the ego has merely told itself a nice story. There is really nothing to win or lose if you are not attached to such an outcome. Believe it or not, it is much more freeing to think outside this box. I don't win but I never lose either.

I think you've won more than a battle from what you have shared here previously. It's all how your perspective is on life, and your wins. For what it's worth, a win in my perspective doesn't necessarily have to be won in competitions.
When something is perceived as "won" something is always lost in the exchange. Think of a purchase in a store. You may have won the item but it comes at a cost. Your money. Same deal. Nothing is won. There is an energy exchange. That is all it is.
If I won something on some battlefield on Answer Mug, what did I lose? I'm sure I didn't win it through making a ton of friends. So, what is really won?
I'm not talking about any of your arguings here, Sharonna. And I don't talk about a purchase, or goods. Never mind. In my eyes you won a battle you had in yourself. There is no loss. I wish you a lovely day.
