Ernest Hemingway

Few weeks ago I read E.Hemingway's "The Oldman and The Sea".If you haven't read it yet,I suggest you to read it.It takes you away,to the nature where there are only fishes,birds and pure ocean.You will see the will of a person.His aim is to catch a huge fish and I think no matter what our aims are,we have to fight for reaching it but we must know too much ambition is dangerous and it can have a bad end.
Yesterday I watched a programme which was based on body and mind power.One man was too ambitious,other one was calm.Too ambitious person lost,he didn't use his energy right as I think so.Other man won,he was more calm and he was ready for the thought of losing.Sometimes we win,sometimes we lose.We really lose?In my opinion losing is not a bad thing sometimes.Experience is a good way of learning,so if it hurts us we know what to do when it happens to us again.Take care and have a nice day!
