Defeat is often a taboo to successful people, most of the time they would rather think in the way that they are getting a set of results that is different from their desire, instead of having to admit that it is a defeat.

Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory. – Norman Vincent Peale, 1898-1993, American Preacher and Author of “The Power of Positive Thinking”

When we talk about defeat, we are putting ourselves at a point of despair, as well as a defeated position of which “I can’t do it”, or “I am unable to do it”, and very much linked to “impossibility”.
As we have talked about in the previous post, that Arthur C. Clarke had said that the only way to discover the limits of possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.

If we were to admit defeat and talk about defeat before getting into and beyond the impossible, how would we ever be successful?
