“Losing ... really does say something about who you are. Among other things it measures are: do you blame others, or do you own the loss? Do you analyze your failure, or just complain about bad luck? If you're willing to examine failure, and to look not just at your outward physical performance, but your internal workings, too, losing can be valuable. How you behave in those moments can perhaps be more self-defining than winning could ever be. Sometimes losing shows you for who you really are.” IfsLooksDoeSelfSometimesMomentsShowsWinningLossWillingLosingPerformancesBlameLuckWho You AreValuableComplainingBehaveInternalsDefiningBad Luck Author:Lance Armstrong

First of all you never have to see it again so you don't know if you were really fulfilling it or not.” IfsKnowsFirstsLittlesMomentsNextTermChanceAudienceOne ThingWeekHappeningsPerformancesCamerasFulfillingTake A ChanceCapturedNext Week Author:Lily Tomlin
