collaboration in a long-term relationship can only take place if the parties feel like winners, or at least that they gain from the relationship. This situation places a requirement on each party to think of the other as a partner rather than as an enemy. As E.

There was no disgrace in losing as long as “you did your best”. This idea would be later spread throughout the world via the “Olympic ideal” that would develop along with the modern Olympic Games that were instituted by Pierre de Coubertin at the end of the century. Coubertin himself admitted having been
