I like to think that everything he did, even though he lost, was about fighting himself. It's clear he enjoyed catching the fish. He didn't anticipate or plan to deal with the shark and it's clearly shown he was under prepared.
I like to think that this was one of his experiences that will stick with him and maybe his attitude changes after he dreams of lions. Your efforts are never in vain because it's the essence of the journey we all travel. Without effort and hope the old man wouldn't be admirable and neither would have been able to see the boy that he missed at the sea.
