Honestly, after i've seen two kids use a toilet paper roll to set some other kid's leg on fire and get severely scolded and punished in public and then seen two other kids try the same ****ing thing the next morning (only replacing 'paper' with 'alcohol'), I'm not really surprised by this.
I've pretty much lost my faith in the youth of today ages ago.
I may not know alot about card games and my words may not mean much to you, but i have to say this. Jaden, you shouldn't feel so down only by one loss or one mistake. You shouldn't feel do down even after a thousand mistakes. No defeat means anything as long as you accept it with a smile and use it as building blocks to evolve. The only true defeat is giving up and even that can be meaningless if you eventually get back to your feet.
So you got a little rusty? So what? Nothing like dueling a couple of times to get your rhythm back. Facing the problem head on is always a thousand time better than backing off due to useless things like embarrassment or fear. After all, if working towards a solution helps you gain it, things that prevent you from doing that only make it worse right? Worry breeds worry. Fear breeds fear. Embarrassment only breeds more embarrassment. As long as you never betray who you are and your dreams and expectations and keep working towards your desires, you can accept any result with a smile. Logical, since what brought you there is what you wanted to follow wasn't it? And even if you don't get the desired result, better to fall a few times doing what you like that give up entirely, right?
As long you desire it, I'm sure you'll be back to your old ass-kicking self in no-time! Get that Jaden willpower working man!
