When you feel down,
When experiencing defeat after defeat, when you are on the brink of collapse:
BE PATIENT .
Face each problem one by one.
Move forward one step at a time. Take each victory one by one.
Difficult doesn't mean impossible..
You only need ONE MORE NUMBER!
A winner is just a loser who tried one more time.”
