The 37th American President Richard Nixon stated a life-changing lesson, by which I would suggest we adopt and make our life motto. He quoted "You've got to learn to survive a defeat. That's when you develop character". It is imperative that we understand and accept the fact that we will encounter challenges, in fact, at times we may find our selves cowering in the [boxing] ring of life, sometimes running from the shadows of failures and many times over-whelmed by failed attempts and endeavours. But according to Pat Buchanan, always remember, "Defeat may seem like a heavy blow that may attempts to keep you down, but please remember - Defeat has its lessons as well as victory".
Every person has had their fair share of challenges, however, the ability to learn from your failures and arise - is the secret ingredient that separate the unfulfilled from the successful. As Facebook files its IPO, the amazing life of its founder Mark Zuckerberg, comes to light. Mark has faced multiple situations that sought to cripple his dream of creating the world most successful social network, however, his determination and resilience - saw him arise as a champion. Richard Branson and Barack Obama are also students of the 'resilience school'.
There is nothing wrong with been knocked down. Staying down is the ultimate problem. Champions never stay down. Are you a champion?
When the going gets tough and you feel like you cant take it anymore, just remember in the words of on my favourite band 'Floetry' all you got to do is say YES" Say YES! Say you refuse to let defeat restrain you from attaining your goals'
Atkins (1985) quoted - "Admitting defeat can be easy, however, your ability to regain composure and get back on the treadmill of life - will ensure your triumphant victory"
Develop a mentality that nothing will stop you from achieving your goal.
Good Luck
