When something fails, don't feel sorry for self. In Chinese it might be called Zi-Ze. If the failure is due to self mistake, remember the mistake, move on and make sure it won't happen again. If it is due to others or beyond own capability, don't even feel a tiny bit of sorry for self. // If you think of something that you were not good at some time ago, now when you reflect on it - don't feel sorry for self. Just think what you will do now.
