When things are going the way we want.....

....them to, we get an urge to celebrate. That's natural but it is not always appropriate. Energy directed towards festivity is energy diverted away from efficiency. Also, victory and failure are two sides of one coin. Those who care too much about winning also tend to worry too much about losing.



What we really need to care about is 'learning.' If this is our priority, we can enjoy life regardless of what it seems to be giving (or taking) from us.



Flowers often grow more beautifully on dung-hills than in gardens that look beautifully kept.    
(Saint Francis de Sales)
