It is simply trying to convey a sense of perpetual momentum in never giving up. If you presume one is standing before first falling down then you will always stand one more time than you fall.

What is the word August when translated from English to Japanese?
八月 (hachigatsu) is the Japanese word for August. Hachigatsu uses two characters, the first meaning 'eight' and the second meaning 'month' to create the word for August (lit. 8th month). There are also old names for the Japanese months that are not used anymore. 葉月 (hazuki) is the old name for August, but this isn't used anymore (as stated above). Each old name has a meaning and hazuki's meaning is 'month of leaves'.
