Examples of guess in a Sentence

You may never acquire and use everything that you want in life. But guess what?

Losers do quit when they are fed up. But on the other hand, winners never quit until they win. What actually do I intend to say? Am just saying that, giving up before succeeding is what makes anybody a loser. Whereas, never quitting is what distinguishes a winner from a loser. Therefore, never be fed up with anything positive in life, until you emerge a success. In case you don't know? What lies ahead of you could be far much better than anything you ever thought possible. Anyway, I guess that's a reasonable reason why you shouldn't give up on your faith until you succeed.
