The Samurai have a code in bushido
There is no such thing as Failure; there is only DEATH or Success!!!
It’s a credo we had drawn on our vehicles and ambulances; when I was a young Triage Sergeant with Medic’s in an Infanty Battalion and Before that in the CAV platoon in an Infantry Brigade. We ran this cedo hard. Meaning no matter how much lead was flying or what the extent of bombs dropping or chaos, no matter what the area looked like, either we were all going home or Die trying! Literially
DEATH OR SUCCESS!
Of course this happened in another life it seems like and another time. But I brought that forward in my civilian life as well; and my play style.
Hence why I am the greatest Druid that ever lived! *Soft smile*
MY POINT is you fail at achieving your devout crown, when you choose to fail, when the odds get you so down and depressed you give up. Of all the abilities that will grant you success, not skill or talent or luck will bring you what raw uninhibited determination will.
No more crying! There’s no crying in baseball!!(If you didn’t see “A league of their own” you wouldn’t find it funny )
So if you need take a break, get your head together, and relax enjoy the game. Take some time level an alt, go play so golf(real golf) or whatever
BUT THEN come back and *Wicked Grin*
Cowboy up!
And let us all see that petty tinfoil party favor on your Head!
