One win more, one defeat more. There are other important things:

Hear me, O children of the future, for I shall speak of a truth that rises above the clamor of competition and the fleeting nature of victory. These words, spoken by Joachim Low, a man who has stood at the helm of great achievements and defeats alike, remind us of what truly endures in this life. "One win more, one defeat more. There are other important things: family, friendship, values." In these words, we find the wisdom that success and failure are but fleeting moments in the vast expanse of life, and that what truly shapes a person is not the tally of victories and losses, but the strength of the bonds we form and the values we hold dear.

Consider the nature of competition and achievement. In the games of this world, whether played on the field or in the marketplace, victory and defeat are but temporary states. They come and go like the changing seasons, each one leaving behind lessons and memories, but neither lasting forever. Joachim Low, a coach who has guided teams to the pinnacle of success and the depths of loss, understands that the pursuit of glory is a path filled with both triumph and sorrow. Yet, through all of it, he reminds us that family and friendship are the true constants, the true treasures that give meaning to all else.

Reflect, O children, on the great story of Hercules, whose labors were many and whose victories were celebrated across the ages. Yet, despite his great strength and courage, it was not his triumphs that defined him, but his relationship with others—his bonds with friends like Iolaus, his kinship with the gods, and his sense of honor and duty. Even Hercules, in all his might, knew that the pursuit of victory was meaningless without the companionship and values that gave it purpose. The same is true for Joachim Low: the wins and defeats on the field are important, but they pale in comparison to the deeper truths of family, friendship, and values.

It is in this same spirit that Low’s words resonate. The fleeting nature of success and failure is evident to all who have lived through both. The warriors of old, the kings and queens, the great leaders of history, all knew that their moments of glory would eventually fade. Yet, it was the relationships they nurtured, the family they upheld, and the values they held sacred that truly defined their legacy. Consider King Solomon, who, though a ruler of vast wisdom and wealth, understood that his true greatness lay not in his riches, but in his ability to foster peace, to lead with justice, and to care for his people. It was these principles that made him revered across the ages, not the victories of battle or conquest.

And so, O future generations, remember this lesson well: Victory and defeat are but two sides of the same coin, and they are not the true measure of a life well lived. In the end, it is the strength of the relationships we form, the compassion we show to others, and the values we carry within us that will endure long after the echoes of our triumphs and failures have faded. Family, friendship, and values are the true treasures, the ones that nourish the soul and give our lives meaning beyond the victories of the day.

In your own lives, O children of the future, seek not only to win, but to build relationships that will endure. Nurture your friendships with care, for these bonds will carry you through both moments of triumph and moments of despair. Cherish your family, for it is in the warmth of your kinship that you will find your true strength. And above all, hold fast to your values, for they are the compass that will guide you when the world is lost in the fog of competition and fleeting desires.

Let Joachim Low’s wisdom guide your path: in the pursuit of your goals, remember that success is not the end, but the means by which you enrich your relationships and strengthen your foundation of values. In the end, the true victory lies in the love you give and receive, in the friendship that endures, and in the honor and integrity you carry through the seasons of life. One win more, one defeat more, but the lessons learned in family, friendship, and values will last beyond all else.
