Quote of the day by Pelé: "Success isn't determined by how many times you win, but..."

Pelé said: 'Success isn't determined by how many times you win, but by how you play the week after you lose.'

Pelé argued the real test of character comes after a defeat, not during a victory.

A win confirms preparation, while a loss creates doubt; handling that doubt reveals long-term durability.

Pelé's career included three World Cup titles and many losses, giving his words personal weight.

The lesson applies beyond sports to any life challenge or failure.
