Despite our best efforts we are bound to make mistakes and be disappointed every once in a while. No man is immune from defeat and occasional failure, at that time your attitude is very crucial.
You can decide to worry over your defeat or brace yourself up and move on with life.
“One of the supreme tests of a leader is this- how does he take defeat? Does he take it as final or does he use it as an educational incident”. H.N. Casson.
"A true teacher is not one with the most knowledge, but one who creates the most teachers."
-Neale Donald Walsch
"Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is
a lot of hard work."
-Stephen King
When you fail find out exactly what happened. Don’t play the blame game- what exactly led to your being defeated?
What made you fall, falter and fall? Don’t be like the typical student who thinks of getting even with his teacher for failing an exam instead of finding out why he failed.

You can’t change yesterday but you can shape your tomorrow by the way you handle today.
Regret will never change back the clock. Buckle up and pick up the pieces; don’t join the vast majority who take defeat as final.

“The biggest club in the world is the down-and-out club. Most men are brittle. They are like a pitcher that goes in to the well, hits a stone and is broken in pieces.
Most men start out in life gaily until they hit a stone. Then they are done for. They might do well in a world that is filled with cushions but they are of little value in a world filled with stones.”
