“Don’t expect victory or defeat. Plan for victory, learn from defeat.” Gary John Bishop
In his book Good to Great, Jim Collins communicates the concept of The Stockdale Paradox. It’s based on the experience of James Stockdale, a high-ranking naval officer who was held captive as a POW for seven years during the Vietnam war.
He was tortured repeatedly and had no rational reason to remain positive. The dates on the calendar would change, but his situation remained the same.
