“We’ll Take Them Next Time” Just a short while ago I read an article about a young fellow called Sandy, who was on a basketball team. You girls who have brothers know how conceited and how sure of themselves they can be sometimes. This was the way with Sandy. He was absolutely sure that his team would win the game, but it lost. Just before the next game Sandy said, “We’ll take them next time.” I think that it takes a great deal of courage to face defeat. When one is defeated, he should never be angry with his teacher, friend, or even himself. but try instead to get angry with defeat. When a person has been defeated after making a great effort, why shouldn’t he be ready to go on and try again? A person who cannot be “downed’’ deserves a great deal of credit. The more attempts you make, the greater percentage of failures, but I am sure that your percentage of successes will also be greater. It takes courage to face defeat! I think that many people fail because of a lack of this type of courage. If you fail to give a good recitation, have a poor test paper, or have a theme returned with many red marks of criticism on it, you should say as Sandy said, “We’ll take them next time.’’ And I think that you will be sure to do so. Don’t you? It takes courage! Louise Bates, ’38
