The temporary admission of defeat is for a comeback, not for a slump.

When we are watching a boxing match, there is often a disparity between strength and weakness, one of them is obviously physically exhausted, and even knocked to the ground several times, but as long as the referee stands up in front of ten numbers, it means that the boxer can continue to hold on, and the fight can continue. The boxer who just got up may continue to be beaten, or he may fight back. Sometimes, a person who is in a weak position refuses to admit defeat and even has no strength to punch, so he can only protect his head with two hands and let the opponent's fist hit hard, at this time we inevitably think, why should he continue to be beaten? It's clear that he can't beat the other party anymore, why do he have to take more punches?

Of course, there is also the possibility of a miracle, where the beaten person will muster up the courage to suddenly punch, turn defeat into victory, and knock the strong unconscious, but unfortunately this kind of plot will only appear in movies. Being defeated is sometimes a strategy, and the way to not want to continue to be beaten in a boxing match is very simple, just fall to the ground and get up. Yes, it was humiliating to be defeated, but from another point of view, this fight was just to avoid more damage.

Wouldn't it be more face-saving to admit defeat and fall, and get up from the place where you fell next time and knock the opponent down this time?

On the battlefield of life, when we have no ability to resist and can only be beaten, we also think about whether we can fall to the ground and admit defeat?

Because, today's admitting defeat is for tomorrow's comeback, if you give your life today, then you will never be able to get up again, and you will really lose to the end.

Surrender is a last resort, Gou Jian's surrender not only tastes the guts, but even tastes the feces of the husband, but he has made a comeback.

Sima Qian praised Wu Zixu, saying that he was angry and disgraced to future generations, and said that when Wu Zixu was exiled to the Yangtze River, he begged on the road, but he did not forget the revenge of killing his father for a moment.

A company's finances can no longer hold on, but it is still holding on, and finally the creditor rushes through the door, moving out the printers, air conditioners, and even tables, chairs and benches. Is such a company smart? Wouldn't it be smarter if it could declare bankruptcy in time, restructure its business, and draw up a repayment plan?

It is not smart to die to save face, and in Western countries, some people declare bankruptcy at every turn, and from that moment on, creditors can only collect debts according to the law, and cannot force people into desperation, so that the debtor family can have a certain amount of living expenses to ensure daily life, so that the car and living space can be maintained.

On the other hand, if you are the head of a family, and you are obviously bankrupt, you still have to hold on, and finally let you drive your family to the street and become homeless, is it wise?

A wise person must know himself and his opponent, understand others and understand himself, know when he can continue to fight, and when he must admit defeat. On the battlefield of life, sometimes we need to admit defeat, not because we really lost, but in order to better preserve our strength and for a better tomorrow.

When we encounter insurmountable difficulties, it is a wise choice to admit our shortcomings, let go of stubbornness and face, and accept reality.

Because, sometimes the temporary admission of defeat is for a comeback, not for a slump.
