Acting Successful-Lee

When Confederate General Robert E. Lee was defeated by a vastly superior Northern army at Antietam, he could easily have withdrawn. But the North was only superior in numbers, not in attitude. History says that he simply refused to act as if he'd been beaten afterward. And indeed, his tactical genius helped extend the Civil war for several years against overwhelming odds. Eventually, his counterpart Ulysses S. Grant adopted an attitude of grimly marching troops deep into the South to eventual victory.

Determination leads to success.
