As you work your way through life blunders happen and urgent events wreak havoc on your life in the most unpredictable of ways.
In theory, the one thing you can control in life is your attitude and response toward these events.
The ancient heroes we admire were dignified and measured in victory and defeat and therein they dignified the win or loss.
Their dignity through hardship renders them valuable and respectable, not the outcome of the struggle.
Maybe if we were more dignified in our approach and response day-to-day, we could be more heroic in both our wins and losses in life.
