Misplay!

Snippets, in 3 lines ...

Errors are misplays

with time remaining to aim.

Take care, it's your game.

.  .  .

In life and in sport,

to the one with least misplay

go points, match and day.

In life, we don't always win,even though we try very hard to succeed....losing is learning a lesson, and taking it with grace...it might even make one try harder next time...I know may people who have fought to win...yet they take their losses and move on....a good comment!
Warmly, B

Thanks Betty, and yes, you're right of course - losses, failures can often teach us more than successes :)

[Betty Hermelee]

you are Very Welcome Dylan
Warmly, B🌷🌷🌷

with failures, comes learning.. and may lead to to success later, if lessons are applied well. it's a cycle I guess, to err, learn and succeed, like rinse, repeat. life and sport are similar in a way, there's a winner and a loser, we could have a tie too where we go nowhere and are stuck. thought provoking write, enjoyed reading it. thanks Dylan.

[Dylan Macadham]

Yes, for sure, failures are opportunities for learning!
Thanks for your thoughts, AH :)

[Thomas W Case]

Live and learn. Terrific write.

[Dylan Macadham]

Seems that losing is a route to - accepting an ending
that's meant to finish - most of the time! :)

[Dylan Macadham]

Thanks Emmajoy, and for the clever way you put it!:)

[Desert Knave]

Indeed, it is your misplays that invariably determine your finishing place. ~Jim

[Dylan Macadham]

Yeah, a moment can change everything. Thanks Jim :)

But to continue to err is insanity. Another hard-hitting piece my friend.

[Dylan Macadham]

Yeah, I guess by now everyone knows what old Einstein said :) ... Thanks so much, Soren!
