Hi Daniel,
You should always try to win. If you do lose you can learn from it, but only if you really strive to win and give it everything will you learn about your game.
You can also learn things when you win. Don't forget that in any win you have also lost many points that you can learn from.

Reminds me of a Peanuts comic strip I saw once.
Linus tells Charlie Brown (paraphrasing from memory) "people say you learn more from your failures than your successes"
Charlie Brown considers this for a while and says "that would make me the smartest person in the world!"
