Spielmacher

Let's say life decided to put you in a position where you had the opportunity to make things happen, both for yourself and for others.  Let's say this position came, not by luck, but because you are the sort of person that works diligently at everything you do, you have an ability to think through situations clearly and to interact well with others and anticipate their actions and even the consequences of those actions.  Let's say then that having all the qualifications for being successful, at your first go-round, you are a little unsure on your feet on how to step up to the task.  Let's say that things happen but not as you would necessarily or hope or plan.  The deadline passes and you miss it; you haven't met your goals or helped others meet theirs.  Does this mean that you aren't cut out to be in that position?  Or that you will never be successful in that position?  Or that you should go and beat yourself up because you fell short of the mark?  Definitely not - give yourself time.

Keep your head up, kid - you'll pull through. 

「人間、苦しい時や落ち込んでる時にこそ、普段の生活、行動をする」　　　~長谷部誠
(Something along the lines of: When people become frustrated when met with difficult circumstances, the key is to keep living, keep going.) 

I couldn't say it better myself.
