I know in the game of football that there's a form of analysis at the end of each match which reflects BALL POSSESSION, SHOTS ON TARGET, CORNER KICKS, FREE KICKS and other items (which I have intentionally omitted as they are not relevant here.) Even though all these show each team's advantage, what really matters is the SCORE. And that's the only item that will have any effect on their respective cumulative group tables(or what is it called?) It is what counts for points.
In life, only few are concerned about your attempts and how hard you strive, what they want are results.
They have no blame really cos result seems like the only proof that you tried at all.
This shows that giving up is never an option, because no one gets a medal while still on the tracks. We have to keep keeping on. And while at that, we can hope and pray that our struggles will yield good results.
God should crown our efforts with success. Amen
