If you did not win, you did not want it enough.
At least, that is what I believe.
When two opponents fight in the finals for the top position, both want to best the other. Why does the winner come out on top? Simply because he wanted to win more. He trained harder, longer, fiercer. He fought better, stronger, faster. If the referee is discriminating against you, no matter. Beat the odds. Be prepared for anything. Even the underdogs can win. If you lose, blame no one and nothing but yourself. You could have won if you had given more blood, sweat and tears during training. Prove that you can overcome whatever the world throws at you. There is no such thing as giving your all. There are no limits. You give your all and more. When you think you reached your limit, push on to beyond.
Pain is temporary, glory is forever.
While writing this, it dawned upon me that this is in direct contradiction to my previous post on gratitude. I demanded a passive stance of being thankful for and satisfied with my current state. Perhaps I am being selectively passive-aggressive. After all, the human mind is so malleable to suit its own needs. This is probably a case of someone who twists arguments to advantageously justify his own line of thought. Politicians do this all the time. That is why they always think they are correct and infallible. Because all their decisions are backed by solid(?) arguments.
Otherwise it could be that I am multi-faceted and can adopt both ideas simultaneously. Only that I have not yet understood how these opposing traits could possibly mesh together in a reasonable manner to form my character.
