When all signs and circumstance point to retreat or resignation, the proper course must be followed without regret. Sometimes great issues resolve themselves, friend; in such cases, it doesn't help you to remain attached to futile goals and ambitions. Success in such situations comes from cheerful acceptance of fate, and a willingness to proceed along the open road -- even if it leads out of town (figuratively speaking). If you can leave 'em smiling, great success.
