I did a short article in our newsletter titled "Go Around!".

The whole object of that was to let people know that it often necessary to, as was already stated, abort. If this means that the landing is not going as planned, then, add throttle THEN add elevator and go around for another try. Don't be so proud of your landing skills that you can't swallow that pride and head for the blue sky if you are long, or not lined up properly, or if the cross wind just gusted and pushed or pulled your aircraft from the intended path, just go around.

I learned the hard way.. yeah, several times, before I got the message. GO AROUND!!! Save that plane, and go around!!
