Defeated



I have been defeated a couple of hundred times in this life so far, and I suppose I will be defeated a couple of hundred times more before it’s over for me. And I count those defeats in not just big things, life altering events, but in tiny and seemingly insignificant events as well. A defeat is a defeat, the difference is the consequence. But in all of that I have never been finished off because I have never quit and that’s when your defeats win, when you quit. The old adage is true “A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.”
