Despair is never a solution, it is the ultimate failure. In Tibetan, we say, “if the rope breaks nine times, we must splice it together a tenth time.” Even if ultimately we do fail, at least we will have no feelings of regret. And when we combine this insight with a clear appreciation of our potential to benefit others, we can begin to restore our hope and confidence. ~ His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama
