It is natural to feel disappointed

When things don’t go your way

It’s easy to think…

"I can’t do it, so why try?"

But no matter how scared you are of making mistakes

Or discouraged you may become

Never give up

Because if you don’t try and

If you don’t go after what you want in life

It won’t come to you

And you’ll be forced to accept

Things that you know could be better

Success is not measured by

Whether you win or you fail

There is always a little bit of success

Even if things don’t go your way

What’s important is that

You’ll feel better about yourself
