THERE'S VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN SUCCESS IN TRYING, AND SUCCESS IN WINNING!

    Physically, the difference is in the trophy or the prize. Mentally, the reward to everyone participating is, in trying to, or reaching the finish line and having the pleasure of knowing, there  are a heck of a lot more who didn't even try.
    Having said that, the disappointing part of life comes when someone else who didn't even try in their life but could have, wants part of what you have in terms of financial equality. The fact is, if they just want to lay back and have the pleasure of being a fan, it's gonna' cost 'em. Agreed?
    So, what I'm trying to impress upon you is, whether or not you win first, second or otherwise, be proud of what you have accomplished in trying, because you have the memorable treasure of knowing you did your best.
    When you go to bed tonight, give more consideration to the attempts you made in doing things the best you knew how to then, not the failures that have the tendency to linger since.
    Have yourself a peaceful sleep, all my treasured friends. Just sayin'.
