"What is defeat in life?  It is not merely making a mistake; defeat means
giving up on yourself in the midst of difficulty.  What is true success in
life?  True success means winning in your battle with yourself.  Those who
persist in the pursuit of their dreams, no matter what the hurdles, are
winners in life, for they have won over their weaknesses."
