Another one bites the.....Victory?

It's not an easy to task to fail at every single task life throws at you. On the contrary, the possibility of you successfully completing a task is higher than you think. It's a written fact!

Yeah I'm kidding. It's just a mental model. The phenomena which I'm talking about goes something like this,

" If there are 'N' terms of tasks available, the possibility of a person completing at least one task is higher than failing at all of the tasks. " 

But life isn't as simple as a mental model, right? There so many variable, complexities and situations which we have to consider before acknowledging a mental model as a real-time model.

The topic today is quite simple. Defeat or Victory. What's greater in the long run? Does it really have an impact over our life and most importantly, our way of living? 

Let's just go over it one question at a time. 

The elephant in the room. Two keywords, one fight. Now let me remind you about the premise we're on right now.

If there's a certain task/opportunity/exam/struggle which you have to/want to tackle and your successfully conquer it, you're going to be called as "Victorious" (No one's going to announce it like they do in a boxing arena, but meh. IMAGINATION is your bestfriend here)

And we all know the backstory of Defeat. Yeah, Looking at you, my fellow reader. Looking at myself too. The keyword in this para is "Failure" if you were wondering.

And we all know the long known discrimination between these two fellas. The topic is so saturated that I'm not even going to peek through that.

Back in the golden days, we could've blamed the entire society for this discrimination. Though we still can, by saying discrimination were hardwired amongst us throughout the ages. But that seems too simple. Because now, along with society, we ourselves have joined in the "Personal Undermining Club" where we constantly undermine ourselves and taking a daily dose of misery. 

What a great time to be alive! (says sarcastically)

Winston Churchill (arguably one of the worst man to ever live) once said, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." 

It is not possible to fail every single time if you've put your mind to it. It is also not possible to be successful at every single attempts as you're not a perfect being. None of us are. That is the point.

In the long run, our perspective over these has a greater impact than most us usually anticipate. We generalize them by saying Positive Thinking and Negative Thinking. And again, I believe that my readers also know quite a lot about this topic too. Won't nag much about it.

We all have experienced that feeling, where we feel that we're at our wits limit. No way out. A sense of hopelessness. But does it end there? It sure didn't, at least for me and most of the people I know. 

The story continues, if you let it. The journey you've embarked on, has multiple steeps and curves. If you decide to live the rest of you life contemplating life for these steeps, then..... You can! It's your life. But general consensus says, it is very uncomfortable. Unless you're a masochist, we all aim to be comfortable in life. 

So, it doesn't matter, in the ultimate scale of you life, whether you succeed or fail at a task. When you've failed multiple times, a victory seems very unlikely thing to happen to you, right? That's how you build up your experience quota. You know the price of victory, you know the struggles. 

That is solely why, when you achieve something, even as little as a praise, accept it wholeheartedly. Know that you are trying to better, you are aiming to do better. You don't always have to be the one who bites the dust. 

Sometimes, you can just be above the dust, appreciating the victory whilst also embracing all of the failures you had. You deserve it!

Carry on! Time's running short.
