Before the Battle of Thermopylae where 300 Spartans famously delayed the advance of the great Persian army of Xerxes, it was reported that the Persian army was so large that the arrows from their archers would "block out the sun". Dienekes, a Spartan soldier, retorted unconcerned, "So much the better...then we shall fight our battle in the shade".Always focus on the positive.
