A good start would be to get rid of the whole 'the winner takes it all' thing. If the winner of one state gets, say, 51 % of the votes, and the loser gets 49 %, why should all the electors go to the winner? Even the loser should get something because it's a close call. It would also make every single vote count. If no one gets the majority of electors in the first round, have a second round with only the top two candidates.

No, in life its either you win or you lose. Do or don't there is no try.

That's a pretty arbitrary stance with no basis in reality. The votes could easily be split justly. There's no need to declare one winner per state and declare everyone else a loser. There can be only one president at a time, but there can definitely be electors with different candidates.
