From Victories to the strength of another...

Well i attempted to write a few days ago but my tiredness takes the best of me... Lately as usual things seem to not go my way. I start to wonder is it a test I'm going through or is it just me putting this stress on myself. I have had the worst luck the last past two to three weeks. I hope that everything goes as planned this week because i have planned it for a while. Also seems like i need a serious change once again as usual!!! Not for anyone but myself.Anyways i didn't feel the need to get a quote but i will because i don't think i should spill every little thing out....
So wow there were so many great quotes but at this moment i choose to write about one ...
"We learn little from victory, much from defeat. - Japanese (on success and failure)"
So i learned this on my own luckily, When i win prizes or anything in life i seem to ignore the true meaning of why i won it or who helped me or even why i won it. I think because that success blinds our true thoughts. When we lose a race or anything we learn why we loss, why we could win, who and why that person won. It is so many things that we take in effect when another wins but we see clearly the reasons why we didn't as oppose to if we did. It makes us try harder and make sure we excel next time. Anyway we put it defeat overpowers a victory any day, like they say you may have won a victory but the loser won the battle. The loser puts so much effort into a race or anything but the winner just wins the victory, you may not have won the prize but you have won the reasoning.... so when they say we learn little from victory, much from defeat they are telling us that regardless if we win or not we will always prevail either we are last or 2nd defeat will teach you so many more things rather then your victory ......

"Who is strong? He that can conquer his bad habits. - Ben Franklin (1706-1790)"
Bad habits bad habits, So as i sit here listening to lauryn hill "i gotta find peace of mind" She states all the wrongs he and she has done in her life and she still can find the time to say she has peace of mind. It is really hard to find peace of mind in this society because everyday you hear someone has died or passed away how can you find that peace of mind when everything or everybody is standing at the world against you? Well put it this way she has another song titled " i get out" trust me it tells you every answer, if you cant do it on your own she says his holy name!!! anyway bad habits they are very hard to get rid of very very very hard to get rid of simply because its a habit lets take smoking for example whether it is cigarettes or a drug it pulls you in where you feel the need to need it.... It is a very bad habit to say no too. I never smoked so i cant say the pleasure it gives but i can say its something that is at the top of the list of a bad habit. When you can quit cold turkey on smoking and ignore the urges to smoke i believe you have conquered the strength of a human!!! Now lets say for example i as being a girl and my habit is allowing boys to get to me... I can say that is a really bad habit because any time they feel the need to need me they call on to me and i come =( i no not good at all when i finally find the courage to break that habit i will have conquered the strength of the strong... Bad habits are such a bad addiction but we cannot help it. There are so many addictions out there in the world and the one addiction that we all need is saying our savior's name and asking him for forgiveness in the sinful world... anyways when the quote says who is strong? he that conquers his bad habits is basically saying everyone has a bad habit but when you finally find the courage to stop that addiction congratulations you have conquered the strength of the strong.... i believe this is pretty much it for tonight i had a lot on my mind to write up here and in my journal. Well have a blessed night everyone the two quotes came from wiseoldsayings.com
