Turn disappointment into determination
Harvey Mackay
His baseball team was behind by one run in the ninth inning; two were out and the bases were loaded. He was the leading hitter on the team.

And then he watched the pitcher pick off the runner on third base. Game over.
Disappointment is part of life. It happens to everyone. The more expectations you have, the more disappointments you will encounter, especially if you go outside your comfort zone. People who expect the best are often let down the most.
Disappointments come in all sizes. Some may be small, others life-changing. How you handle such occasions will determine how quickly you are able to move on with your life and career. Disappointment is often an opportunity for growth and learning.
