Embrace your Mistakes
"What doesn't kill us, you aint dead yet." That slogan is written on my gym's wall. And I couldn't have put it more articulate. It doesn't matter how many times you fall down, if your opposition hasn't killed you yet, then they still got something to worry about. Get up, get out there, and fight. A warriors mentality goes a long ways in this world.
I'm not encouraging anybody to start slandering, insulting, and stabbing others in the back to get ahead in life. That type of behavior isn't condoned by this author. What I'm saying is, number one, it takes more guts to keep good morals in the face of intense struggle than it does to succumb to ill-willed behavior. I'm saying, a lump of coal starts off pretty ugly, but under intense pressure, if the coal can handle the stress like a champ, it will soon become a diamond.
Again, don't give up. Kill 'em with hard work. If they didn't like that piece, write a different one that's so awesome they won't be able to turn it down. And if they turn that one down too, swallow that pride, grit those teeth, and jump back onto that gritty keyboard. Years, my friends. Never quit.
If your wheel never stops spinning, eventually, you will get somewhere. Champions don't become champions over night. Everyday they sweat, they hurt, and they keep as many good friends as possible by staying cordial, staying honest, and staying in the game.
