Day 184 of wisdom
“It is your response to winning and losing that makes you a winner or a loser. ”
Harry Sheehy
Winston Churchill, once said, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Whether you win, or lose, the will, the tenacity, and the courage to continue on your tracks determine how far you go, and how well you do on your journey to the next level. If you win today, and you don't continue doing the things you did that led you to success, or do better than what you always do, you will lose on your next attempt.
When one wins he should not look down on the one who lost to him, because the tides may turn tomorrow. Your attitude towards the one you won determines if you truly are a winner, or a loser. Someone once said, "winning doesn’t have to be at someone’s expense." Sometimes someone else don't have to lose for you to be a winner, but if it must be so, don't destroy people's personality because they lost to you.
Life coach, Speaker, and Author, Rasheed Ogunlaru once said, "Champions realise that defeat - and learning from it even more than from winning - is part of the path to mastery." Sometimes defeats are the best way to gain mastery of whatever we do, want to do, and become, we learn a lot more from defeat than we do from winning. As much as winning is desired, losing should not be despised, but must be learnt from.
You derive strength, strong will, and tenacity from the struggles we go through on our journey to success, than from actual success. If we really desire winning we must be determined not to quit until we win. In the words of Chinonye J. Chidolue "Winning is not always punctual but eventually it comes." and when it comes, it does not come to those who have quit, but those who continues despite the hurdles, and challenges.
