"You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated."
Simplified meaning
In life, you will have times when things don't go the way you want. For example, you might not get a job you applied for or fail a test at school. It's normal to have these setbacks; everyone experiences them. What's important is not to let these setbacks stop you from trying again. Think of a basketball player who misses many shots during a game, but keeps playing and eventually scores. This determination helps them succeed in the end. Apply this to your own life by staying strong and motivated, even when things are hard.
