"Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today."
Maxwell Maltz
It is hard to accept that we will not always win. We want to win so badly. Some people will do anything to win, no matter how much it hurts others. We tend to think that if only we had more resources, more time, more money, more energy, then we could always win. But nobody can win all the time. Some days, even the best of individuals will lose.
Most of us, after we have tasted defeat, think that the defeat means that we will never get what we want; it's just too difficult for us. We quit. But every roadblock has some way to get around it. The truth is that the greater the challenge, the greater the opportunity that is hidden within it. There is always tomorrow. Today's defeats can't be changed. Learn from them and carry on again tomorrow. Don't let them stop you. You're not a failure until you fail to try.
Do your best to acheive success today, but if it doesn't work out then never forget that there still is tomorrow and things may work out then. We have a whole life ahead of us, and more lives to come. There is plenty of time for things to work out. Don't give up just because you lost today. There's still tomorrow.
