Whenever you gain a victory celebrate it quietly. Do not crow. Real men don't crow. Do not let it go to your head for if you crow you will stir your enemies up against you needlessly and if you let it go to your head, you will inevitably wind up doing something foolish that can set you back to a point on your path that is worse than before you gained the victory.. It may even lead to your destruction. Therefore, you should beware of your victories as much as your defeats.
