A bloody nose rather than a bleeding heart || Neem Candies

I tell everybody that small defeats are inevitable. You will have them. Let them not mean too much. If you are too disturbed by small defeats, you have had it; you won’t stay put for long. You would be so embarrassed and so ashamed of yourself that you will quit.

So, take the small defeats in your stride. Let them not matter much. Brush them aside. Brush them aside so that the bigger defeat remains at bay. What is the bigger defeat? To stop trying altogether.

Small ones—you cannot avoid them. The big one—you can avoid it. Stay put. Take the blows right on the chin. It’s alright to have a bleeding nose rather than a bleeding heart.
