This is MY view...
Humanity is a very bad, when we are born we don't have the brightest future. The things we do best is destroying and killing, both nature and our selves. So we're Born to lose.
You have the power to make your life and everybody else's as good as possible, so you Live to win.
So for me it means that I do the best out of a bad situation...

Nice view Juggernaut.

My view is that the majority of us are born to do average in life, and that we don't really get anywhere we want to be unless we try and achieve what we want. Hence the phrase "Born to lose, Live to win".

Nothing comes from nothing. If you don't do anything YOURSELF, you WILL lose. No other choice!

So go ahead, DO something. Go and fight, defend yourself against all evil, all obstacles.
After you made some progress, have something to build on, go ahead and help others.
Doing so will improve things for yourself, it will get a momentum, there will be synergy with others.

You were born to lose, but you fought against it! Now you will live to win!

awesome guys - just what i wanted to hear smile Was/i'm a little scared about how the majority will interpret it when they see it. Was thinking like the "born to lose": person is a junkie, criminal etc.(already giving in to the lose part) "live to win": trying to break out of the position he/she has gotten himself into.

For me it means how you guys interpret it, and hope it does so for the majority of people

Its just about making your existance worth while and fun rather than "losing" by working 9 till 5 everyday and then dying of a heart atack at 60.Dont have any regrets.
Thats how i see it anyways.And i too shall have it inkd at some point.

For me this line means, we are born just to die. the very first moment we exist in this world it's certain that we'll die. that means we are born to lose, but we should dominate this fact and make our existence worthy. We should win a worthy status in this world

The same as "March or die" if you now what I mean? Life is war, you must fight for your self because nobody else will. If you are not from some rich family with many millions on your bank account than you are Born to lose, than you have to fight for your self and be very stubborn in your positive energy who is against politicians, nationalism, exploitation of any kind, people who think they are above anyone else "Just cos you got the power that don't mean you got the right" etc etc... Live to win - against all this negative energy and to live good and be successful in your life.
