Even when
you are the clear loser, start writing your victory speech. Don’t ever expect
to lose. No matter what the odds, plan to win. History is filled with victories
that were stolen from the jaws of sure defeat and it almost always happens at
the last moment when all seems lost and hope is almost gone. History
shows us that the winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before
they triumphed. But they stayed in the fight. They kept trying. They won
because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.
