What is defeat? Some say it is
the end of the world.
Others think they’ll die of embarrassment over their failure.
A few throw up their hands and quit.
Orson Swett Marden, (1850-1924) the founder of Success Magazine, said this:
“What is defeat? Nothing but education;
Nothing but the first steps
to something
better.”
You know, I think he’s onto something there.
Nothing but education – our first steps
to something better.
I like that.
I
can handle that.
I can grasp that concept.
You failed?
That’s good. Now you know one more thing
that doesn’t work in this particular situation.
Simple?
Yes.
Pertinent?
Absolutely!
