The Path to Victory
May 4, 2012
“I can learn more from one defeat than I can from one thousand victories.”
-Sun Tzu from The Art of War
He rose up in a warring land
Through many defeats he learned
Able to lead his rag-tag group
Of soldiers to unify almost all of
China
Learn more from
Failure and defeat than
From victory and success
No surprise here
What is learned from a victory?
Nothing
Through arduous trials
Errors
Failures
One learns lessons that would otherwise remain hidden
When facing failure
In order to succeed
Change something that is wrong
The path that leads to success is paved with many failures
