I have a different thinking. Once I failed, I entertain the idea. Try to learn as much as I can from that failure. Tried to look back for the mistakes I have done. Digest them, and then put it in a positive note. The wrong things I have done are also my fuel to become a better person. If I just disregard them, I think I will remain stagnant and unproductive all my life.:)

That is a good alternate way of looking at things. We're going to have setbacks. What we learn from setbacks is the measure of what we can do in the future. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

It's a great line! It's a positive way of looking at it. Something we need to remember whenever we are at our 'downs' so we don't get despondent. Such that when don't find the way now, we just keep on looking. Right?

We got to keep moving forward. Eventually, something has to give. We will succeed in the end. It might take a while, but we've got to keep going. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

yes..that's good. but sometimes you can get tired of being positive all the time. it's okay. take a rest. feel negative for a day or two or cry it all out if you feel like crying. but when it's over, after "resting", go get going again.... and fight.

Yes, its hard being positive all the time. Life does tend to step on you, even if you are positive and there are sometimes where deep down, even the most positive person in the world, just wants to throw their hands into the air in frustration. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Positive words tend to lead us to actions that will work out for the best. Negative words will make it seem like the book is closed, when sometimes its not the case. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yeah, it came off the top of my head when something did not go my way a couple of days ago. In a quite spectacular manner, but I just stepped back and basically said, I have the right idea, just approaching it in a way that won't be good. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

That was a nice thinking you got there megamatt. I think things will go in our favor if we all start to think as optimistic as that. By thinking that there is still something to be done instead of just quitting, we will able to try harder until we finally reach our goal. You are right that when we already accepted defeat or failure, we will walk away from our goal with shoulders down and wont continue...so it is better to think that success is yet to come...
