RE: Today's Principle.........presented by Bleujay

What a great presentation of an age old maxim we should never forget. Thank you for reminding us all of the importance of perseverance. You are absolutely right to highlight the value of investment even if that doesn't win the race. It could well serve as a building block for your next race or challenge, and that one you may just win.
The principle you speak of reminds me of another saying which is similar - if at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again. Are you familiar with that one @bleujay?
Glorious flowers and what a vase, it almost looks ornate in design. And as for your tulip painting what a stunner - marvellous!

Greetings @peaceandmoney ,
How very kind of you to drop by with your kind reply and generous tip...thank you.
Indeed...this principle bears repeating...the nuance of it...as you noted by saying....'It could well serve as a building block for your next race or challenge, and that one you may just win.'....was what struck me this time....thinking what if the other contestants dropped out....did not finish.
We would call it 'unsportsman-like conduct' would we not. So I had to ask myself ...why would they finish the race when the winner is evident....right. Manners aside, of course. One answer could be...the participation benefits all...the winner reaps a visible reward....the others invisible...but it is there all the same.
Oh yes...I do appreciate that saying...' - if at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again......thank you for reminding Bleujay. ^__^
Thank you for your kind compliments regarding the 'Icing'....happy to hear your thoughts.....which brought to mind an episode in the series 'Poirot' where the detective said in jest to his assistant....'You are easily stunned.' ^__^
Very encouraging really....thank you.
Kindest Regards,
Bleujay
Ha ha! Monsieur Hercules Poirot, a man always designed to bring a thoughtful smile to the face.
Thank you for expanding on your thoughts and yes I quite agree, the reward is there even for the loser. That's what gives perseverance such meaning.
