“College football is a game which would be much more interesting if the faculty played instead of the students, and even more interesting if the trustees played.

“Most of the network related programming in games has to do with providing a good interactive experience when playing over the internet. This matter is very different from serving web pages.

“Only the mediocre are always at their best. If your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. But if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. It is okay to not win every game. The only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. Keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. If you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.” IfsTryingYearsProblemWould BeFallGamesWinningEasyGoalLossProudLowsStandardsOkayBarsBeing The BestBe ProudMediocre Author:Mike Krzyzewski
“Most organizations only focus on WHAT they do and HOW they do it - tactics and strategies - and they aren't even aware that this thing called the WHY exists. Focusing on only two pieces of a three piece puzzle leaves an organization, or a career, inherently out of balance. Being out of balance, only operating on two of the three pieces, shows up in different ways - increased stress, loss of passion, obsession with what your competition is doing, being forced to play the price game, trouble differentiating. These are all signs that the WHY is missing.” WayTwoDifferentPlayShowsPassionThreeGamesLossCareersFocusPiecesTroubleMissingBalanceOrganizationStressStrategyCompetitionObsessionDifferent WaysPuzzlesTacticsTactics And Strategy Author:Simon Sinek

On one point, however, I am clear.
