Last night, somebody from another division asked me how I was after losing in the contest. My answer? I just said I'm fine. And I meant that. Why?
It is because the moment I joined the contest, I already accepted the probability that I won't win. In fact, there was a 7/10 probability that I wouldn't place so what the heck?
Secondly, I've joined the national speech contest several times and out of those four, I only placed once. It has already been a huge privilege for me to be in that contest.
Third, bullshit as it may sound, I am already a winner in my own rights. I have people who believe in me and that should matter most.
It's not yet my time to shine and I'm so much fine with it. Other people haven't even stepped on the national contest stage so I should already be thankful with that.
And with this, I rest my case.
