“If you write something that gets a bad response, or someone commits candor or is off message, there are often consequences almost immediately when it appears in the paper or a magazine, that somebody gets called into the boss's office. And sometimes it can result in a loss of access for the reporter.” IfsWritingSometimesLossResultsOfficePaperMessagesConsequenceResponseAccessCommitMagazinesBossReportersCandor Author:Ron Suskind
“Loss either teaches you to persist in the face of suffering, or hardens you into a bitter cynic. Sometimes, it does a little of both.” LittlesDoeSometimesFacesSufferingLossTeachBitterPersistCynic Author:Grace Slick
“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
