You win

Sometimes in life, you don't win, and sometimes you win. The times you don't win, someone else wins, but it doesn't mean you lost-you just
didn't win. Your trophy was not on that stage, but it was expedient you passed through that stage.

You got in the race, knowing quite well within that you had all it could require of you, but then, all you had wasn't for that race, so you didn't win. You didn't loose either: you just got a step closer to what feat was yours to win; a step closer to your perfect prize.

It's just our mentality of what "win" is to us sometimes: we must have what we feel we should have, and to us, that's final. Rather we should see our not winning not as failure, but a development of our persistence and resilience

Knowing this, no one is worth your rage, displeasure and contempt when you don't win. Celebrate the winner at that time; look for your flaws; develop your resilience, and forge ahead till you get to your own stage.

The teen and youth ages are transitory periods. The adulthood is dependent on them and the childhood look forward to them. Major changes occur that shapes one during this period. Decisions and choices during this period are key too. The parable of the talents illustrates a scenario of three servants- their ages not told. They were given talents which can be likened to an investment. The spotlight is on the fact that they were given according to their "ability" and not "piety." A mentor once said they were given to capacity. If piety were a consideration, the servant who ended up with one talent should have had the most: he was pious; he feared his master the most  and wouldn't want to offend him in any way; but he hadn't capacity worth investing more than one talent. The above is an evidence that proves the fact that nobody is willing to invest much in anybody without capacity, enough to contain. The amount of content is dependent on the capacity of ...
