"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude."
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Give all options to the opponent, if you win its historical, if you fight and loose- he is definite to loose next time, if you loose-you can enjoy his happiness even.
