In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don't lose your head and start complaining or accusing others if you experience a setback or failure. If the decision was mostly fair, acknowledge the loss and move forward.  Being in denial or placing blame makes you look like a sore loser. It also takes the responsibility of your performance away from you and places it somewhere else. By accepting the outcome—whatever it may be—you show that you are okay with losing, and that the outcome isn't always what's most important. This suggestion is not relevant to situations when you feel like you were cheated or discriminated against in some way. In such situations, don't stay quiet. Take your grievances to the proper authorities. Healthy competition means you accept the fact that you won't always win, and that you can still congratulate others when they do. Politely pat the winners on the back to show that you're not a sore loser.  Use this strategy for applauding your own opponent and for congratulating friends who may enjoy successes that you don't. Keep in mind that if you are gracious when others win, they are more likely to follow your lead and behave similarly when they lose. You can also use other people’s victories as examples to help you be successful in the future. Examine what they have done well and how you might do something similar. As you get accustomed to losing, you'll notice that your biggest competitor is yourself. Your primary focus should be on steadily improving over time. Therefore, don't dwell too much on losses. Simply use them to evaluate your mistakes and apply what you learn to future situations. For example, if you don't get picked as first chair in this year's orchestra, get feedback to find out how you can better your skills. Practice, evaluate your progress, and try again next year. It's easy to fall into self-hatred when you're competing with someone and they win. “He's so skilled at chess,” becomes, “I'm such a loser.” When this happens, realize that someone else's success does not have to translate to your failure and change your tune.  You might challenge these thoughts by reminding yourself about other activities you're good at, or even reflect on how your skills in the area in question have improved. For example, you might change, “I'm such a loser" into, “I'm gradually becoming a better chess player.” Sometimes, the one with poor sportsmanship isn't actually you. You may lose one round to an opponent who immediately starts trash-talking you. Don't play into this destructive behavior. Try some self-soothing techniques to stay calm. Chat with someone to distract yourself. Take slow,  deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. You might also try counting silently to 10, 50, or whatever number works for you.
Summary: Accept the outcome. Applaud when others win. Learn from your mistakes. Challenge negative self-talk. Stay calm when your opponent tries to bait you.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To open a franchise of a major brand such as Harley-Davidson or Indian Motorcycles, start by visiting their website and submitting their application. This prospective application gets you in contact with one of their representatives who will discuss your qualifications. Anyone buying an existing dealership also has to fill out this prospective dealer application. Franchise dealerships have a minimum amount of financial capital required in order to ensure standard business practices that will make you successful as a dealer and protect the brand’s image. Money for internal operating expenses such as parts, uniforms, and management systems have to be considered, but so do expenses such as facility and labor costs. This money is gotten through bank loans, acquaintances, and investors.  A loan or credit line from a bank is your most available source of funding. They will check your credit, your cash flow, and your business plan before they loan you money.  Investors can help, but it is tough to find them. Talk to people online or offline who share your passion and will go into business with you or pitch your franchise to someone who believes in your business plan. Polaris for example as of 2017 requires about $150,000 to $200,000 in a minimum investment not including facility costs, but also requires a $500,000 credit line. Running a franchise requires a lot of space. Brands such as Yamaha require big, visible buildings. You will need to find a place that is retail-friendly and receives a lot of foot traffic. The building will have the brand name displayed prominently on the outside while offering enough space for your business operations and a showroom. Yamaha for example asks for 10,000 square feet of space for unit display, 750 for accessories, 750 for parts, and 1,000 for a service department. After you have spoken to the dealer representatives and sellers, if you are buying an existing franchise, your information may be verified and approved. Once it is, you can get your business license from the government and sign the contract. A small motorcycle shop can operate with the owner alone and possibly family and friends, but a big dealership is going to need a large quantity of people to perform varying roles, such as sales and operations. Interview for employees with good work ethic and motorcycle knowledge, then work on documentation. Employee insurance may be necessary for obtaining your business license, but you may also need to report your hirings and verify them for tax purposes. Consult with your local government officials to find out what documentation you need to submit. The state will need information about your business, such as how much product you sell, your property ownership or lease information, sales tax ID, worker’s compensation insurance, and so on. In New York, for example, once your application is processed, you have to schedule an inspection of your facility and keep a sign showing your business as a dealership.
Summary: Fill out a preliminary application. Gather the necessary finances. Settle on a location. Sign your contract. Hire employees. Get your business license.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Modern HE washers use a slow, longer tumbling action to wash clothes. Although any contact with the washbasin can be hard on fibers, it is gentler than the traditional agitator washbasin. Purchase a detergent that is intended for HE washers. Fill it to less than the maximum amount, unless there is very heavy soil. You want to use a cold setting of approximately 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius) and the minimum level of mild detergent. Don’t let the temperature rise above 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 Celsius). Most modern detergent brands are just as effective in cold water. Again, unless there is heavy soil, it will be enough to wash the clothes and prevent fading. If you have heavy soil in your socks, gym clothes or underwear, purchase an enzyme detergent. Wash these heavy soil items separately at 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 26 degrees Celsius). If you live in a cold climate, your cold-water wash may run at 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) instead of 60 (16 degrees). Since this temperature is too low to wash your clothes with most detergents, you will need to use a warm setting while the water is colder. Vinegar is said to set colors. Textile makers use salt to set dye in fabrics, so the clothes are less likely to bleed. Salt is a commonly used ingredient in color safe detergents.
Summary:
Purchase a high efficiency (HE) washer. Use a mild detergent. Wash new bright or dark items separately on the first wash. Choose a cold wash for all colored, bright and dark (separate) loads. Set your washer to the shortest cycle. Adjust your wash routine in cold winters. Pour one-half to one cup (118 to 237 ml) of white vinegar into your wash cycle with your bright loads. Add one-half cup (146 g) table salt to the wash cycle while washing bright colors that are likely to bleed.
