actually Eladar, you have a very good point. international master Alexander Bangiev, has stated the same principle, in which he states , in his foreword, to his theory on square strategy, what he terms the 'I principle'. in that all positions can and should be viewed from our own perspective, in that we are trying to develop our own initiative, our own attacks, yes we may have to defend, but again this is viewed from our own perspective. i tend to agree, let our opponent worry about finding his own moves, we have enough hassle finding our own!

I lose when my opponent puts up a pretty darned good game.

I think that's not a good approach. that way you could go easy on your losses, "ah he played a perfect game anyway." No, you must go crazy over yourself and feel a deep, torturing frustration for making those mistakes.

I agreed to a draw before getting out of opening theory.
"I played like Tal"
I hung a piece and my opponent blundered and let me win.
