Beaten but not Defeated

As I'm writing this, there are some people still gloating over the win and some sadden by the lost.
Gloating cos their team managed to beat the defending champions, saddened cos their team was beaten by an arch rival.
So, my feelings ? As a Red Devilian ?
Saddened ? Yes
Dissapointed ? Yes
Beaten ? Yes
Defeated? NO!

Why not ??
Cos its not the end of the long winded journey. We win some,we lose some. We learn from it.
We fall and we get up. If we don't fall, we wont know how bad is the bruise.
It does not matter the number of times we fall but the number of times we rise when we fall.

Consistency is the name of the game.
To be consistent or to be complacent?
Whatever the people decide, the answer is obvious.
I know for sure consistency is the root of all achievements.

To accept defeat before the journey ends is like suicide of its own kind.
So, never accept defeat till it is declared as one.

Admit any loss with dignity.
Accept defeat with grace.
But when the season ends, and the obvious winner prevail,
WE SHOVE IT ON THIER FACE!!
