Happiness is a byproduct of function purpose and conflict those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

And that is the reason why this victory is great because different players have made contributions to the win.

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.
