Virgil's great lyrics, rendered by the acclaimed translator of Gilgamesh
The Eclogues of Virgil gave definitive form to the pastoral mode, and these magically beautiful poems, which were influential in so much subsequent literature, perhaps best exemplify what pastoral can do.

A victorious mindset isnt mere actions, but a state of being. It is being aware of ones surroundings. To have a victorious mindset is to take responsibility for your own actions. People are defeated before they are engaged in battle, because of their thought process. If you cannot see yourself victorious, then the odds are already against you. To win, you must see or envision yourself as the winner.
