Please, don’t ever think, “I’m such a failure,” or anything of the sort. If you go about things thinking, “It’s okay to lose,” you’ll not only relieve the shock from losing, but you’ll build up the energy to go forward. I can assure you that losing has substantial merits. So, I wish that everybody tries their best and not fear losing. You could almost say that is one’s true strength.“
