A False Triumph

It feels great when you've finally done something successfully, even though I can later find that it really happened a different way.

Succeed is the word that I use in my day-to-day pep talks or explanations of something in life. There's many ways we can look at success.

"If you do this, we can succeed in this match." I would say to my partners in a game of StarCraft, referring 'this' to anything. Now, at first, most people out there who know starcraft and think about it, your first thought might be 'Why say that at the beginning of a game?' I never mentioned that at the beginning of anything, it was sometime in the middle of the game.

A lot of the moves I remember taking in a 4-player chess match or even the 3 verse 3 team basher StarCraft matches felt successful, but later proved to be bad moves, or my loss was bound to happen. When I successfully unleash the army behind enemy lines, it proves good, but then bad later. You still feel successful on doing your move, yet, you still lost.

Why still feel like you were the victor when you really lost? Because we feel triumphant inside, that we played our hearts out, we did our best in what we did of what we thought was the best option, even though it may of been the bad one.
