No matter how much you feel you have messed up, there's always room for improvement. There's always a next time. You can always try again next time and do better.
It's never the last lap, and it's never the last page. Even if you just graduated with the grade you were not anticipating, the best relationship of your life just ended, or you just lost your awesome job, there is always room for improvement.
