(If this is your first time on this site, I recommend that you begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])

A Smile

Let others cheer the winning man,
There's I hold worthwhile;
'Tis he who does the best he can,
Then loses with a smile;
Beaten he is, but not to stay
Down with the rank and file;
That man will win some other day,
Who loses with a smile.

Author, in question

I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.

• Think back to when you tried your hardest to win but didn't and were a sore loser.
• List those times.
• When did you graciously accept defeat?
• List those occasions.
• Try and recall how you felt after each.
