After the botched invasion of the Bay of Pigs on the South coast of Cuba by 1400 Cuban exiles in April 1961, President John F. Kennedy said: “Victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan.”
Members of the just defeated West Indies’ teams must be feeling like shamed and rejected orphans. Even though they are being belittled and vilified by all and sundry, they must not allow themselves to be distracted by destructive comments. They have failed, but they are not failures.
The human brain is wired and configured to learn more from mistakes and failures than from success.
