Use auto-suggestion, have faith, imagination and overcome fear and time is your opposite player as in checkerboard.

 
Napoleon Hill

And neuer shall I to like riches aspire.

 
John Heywood
 

Hard-hearted minds relent and rigor's tears abound,
And envy strangely rues his end, in whom no fault was found.
Knowledge her light hath lost, valor hath slain her knight,
Sidney is dead, dead is my friend, dead is the world's delight.
