Defeat is always a possibility. But a large part of defeat consists in admitting defeat. When others attempt to defeat you, there is always the hope that they will fail and you will prevail. If you admit defeat, you are defeated. The deal is done, period. There is, before, no advantage in yielding to panic and trumpeting your own defeat. If your power has been reduced, use what little power is left to you. Keep your potential alive.
