Getting Victorious Through Loss

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life, and that's why I succeed." - Michael Jordan


               
                Victory, one of the happiest moments of all people especially on winning something. But, champions goes inroads and obstacles on were they fall before they take the crown. Like Aeneas, he had lost almost all his love ones and even his closest friends during the war. King Priam was slain together with his family. Creusa, his wife was lost when they flee from Troy. His father, Anchises, died in Drepanum from were they had faced a Cyclops. Dido, who commits suicide for her depression with Aeneas and with Aeneas' departure in Carthage. Pallas, a young soldier, who died in the hands of Turnus and made Aeneas mad and wants to take revenge with it. This can affect Aeneas' inner feelings and can made him lost his focus in winning the war because of this. 

                Because of his lost of his closest friends and love ones, Aeneas made this as a source of strength and power to defeat Turnus. Even though he lost the city of Troy, he continued fighting together with the Trojans even though they are outnumbered until they had been victorious. In real life, you will not win a game if you don't even have a chance to be defeated. For some people, they made it an inspiration to be better than ever. They will train hard to adjust and to be victorious.

                To take the winning crown, you must pass the cross roads and other obstacles and right there, you will learn something that will lead you to victory. You must accept those failures that you encounter in life. Just make it an inspiration to be better next time. Failures are part of life. If you don't fail, you don't learn.  If you don't learn, you'll never change.
