Defeats Are Part Of The Game

Stormy Road I have always liked the Maya Angelou quote,

"We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated."

Failure, setbacks, disappointments, things not going our way FOR NOW, lead to persistence in getting down a stormy road in the desert back to sunshine.

Edison persisted with eternal hope to get the lightbulb filament working. Bum Phillips the late football coach said the game is made up of FAILURES.

Develop in yourself eternal hope and optimism, that you can weather storms, to get to that next "success point." It is ALL just part of the journey. Grasp that understanding!!

For every win I have at least four setbacks! A failure is what happens when you give up not when you persevere..

Sage advice, Gary. I understand this quite well. I grew up fifteen minutes away from Thomas Edison's laboratory, by the way.

Gary,

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Your considerably more "liberal" than I am.
