Day 333 of wisdom
“When you win, you don't get carried away. But if you go step by step, with confidence, you can go far.”
Diego Maradona
Winning is not always the end of the battle, it mostly is a temporal outcome of an unfinished war. Life is a continuous chain of events, and many things happen in succession, one who wins a contest today might be the loser tomorrow, this is why you must not be carried away by the win you have today because, tomorrow you might be a loser. We must always prepare to win any battle we get into, we must do our best to emerge winner at all times, but we cannot always win, and whenever we lose we must take it in good faith, and move on.
All winners were loser, no one ever gets into winning without first loosing, but they learn to win from their loses. As Michael Jordan once said, "I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I have been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." When you lose, don't beat yourself for loosing, rather pick up yourself, gather lessons from your loss, and work towards the next opportunity, the more you go the greater your chances of winning.
You must first learn to lose before you can learn to win. Losing is the stepping stone towards winning and until you learn to lose and lose honourably, you cannot be successful. The most successful men in life are men who failed multiple times but never gave up, and then they won. The world remembers not the loses but their win. They translated their win into wins by consolidating on the win and the loses and using the lessons to create a chain of wins.
Win or lose, never lose sight of your journey, go confidently in the direction of your dreams, never take any moment on that journey for granted but draw lessons from every event, stick to your path, follow the process and as Henry David Thoreau would say "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you have imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler" and winning will be easier. You will go far only if you do not quit when you fall, so, keep moving, fall, but don't stay down, fall, stand up, fall again stand up again, and eventually you will win.
