tolerance for losing?

Dear friends, We can say tolerance for cold, tolerance for medicine, is it common to say" you should have a tolerance for losing?"
edit: or tolerance for failure?

Yanoogator is right, and it �s a useful skill. I teach my students to be magnanimous in victory. I emphasise the other side of the equation: be a good loser, congratulate the winner and shake hands. Occasionally, it works, too!
