Zeroes and ones

Zeroes and ones

There are three things we can learn from the use of zeroes and ones in the mathematic of life.

If 1 means a victory and 0, a defeat, then the exact position is to give your victories the front position. Don’t forget them ever, not as a gesture of arrogance or “bragging about it”, but as a reminder of your strength.

By giving a victory the front position, you will always remember it. Besides, if for any reason, your defeats come to your mind – they occupy the front position – well, zeroes to the right of one don’t affect it much… Your defeats won’t be included in the general result of your life, they have passed and your victory will outshine them.

And if you put zeroes behind the 1 – they occupy the back position – that means your victory was so great that your defeats, the zeroes of your life, make it even greater. For instance is someone wins a medal at some sports, that is something to celebrate, a wonderful victory, no doubt; if this person has some incapacity, had a rough childhood or his self-esteem is low, the victory will be even greater. In life, each defeat increases the value of each victory.
