I used to believe that winning is the best thing in life,
that true success comes from the best efforts,
that this life is just one huge competition,
that it’s all about you and your ego,
that losing is one of the worst
things that may happen
to one who aims
success.
But now,
I just realized
that in order to achieve
whatever it is that we want,
we must know how it feels like to
break or bend, to be rated or be spent
and still manage to smile and lift our heads,
and learn that just when we thought we had died,
we’ll realize that we were only trying to know we’re alive.
