Feeling of defeat

Việt Văn |

Sitting and drinking beer on a cool autumn day is really pleasant, the weather is sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, just like human life has its ups and downs. You entered the art path a bit late, but in return you put all your effort into it, so you reaped success right away.

You said that in this life, you are always haunted by the lines "In the past, beside my father's bed/My mother was sad and far away/Looking at my father, I missed him/My great ambition was not fulfilled" (song "My Mother" by musician Tran Tien). Because when born, everyone has many aspirations, "dreaming of flying with birds across the sky" like the boy in the foreign song "Donna, Donna" but then when "the hair turns gray and the rain and sun fade", "their hands are empty of their innocent dreams"...

He smiled: The feeling of winning is fun, needless to say, sometimes it lasts for a whole week. But the feeling of losing is remembered longer. If you lose with conviction, there is nothing to say. But losing because of bad luck is sometimes incredibly painful. Like many famous players who cannot forget the feeling of their decisive penalty kick causing the whole team to collapse at the gates of heaven. But you have to know how to stand up, because life goes on and there are always new opportunities to seize.

You nod: Losing a battle to win a campaign, the loss is immediate while the victory is long-term. More importantly, you must know how to accept defeat. Because life has ups and downs. Ups and downs are like going to heaven! There are people who are even loud-mouthed: My life is full of peaks, one peak after another. But then climbing high mountains gets tiring, and I have to "come down the mountain" because my health is no longer good. My uncle in the past, was competitive, never losing to anyone, especially drivers, when he went out on the road, he refused to lose to anyone, always had to surpass them to come out on top. After a sad accident, he was hospitalized for a whole month before he fully recovered.

He sighed: after all, the feeling of losing to others is not as humiliating as losing to yourself. Just because you did not try your best at the decisive moments and you missed out on victory is very bitter. And if you tried your best and still lost, then you have to accept it. The philosopher Osho also said: “There is a limit to everything. If you keep succeeding, a moment comes - pop and everything is beyond your control. If you succeed, do not rush and do not go to the very end, because after success there is nothing left, only failure”. Even Lao Tzu once said: “If you draw your bow to its full capacity/You will wish to stop at the right time”.
