Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.
Everybody likes to win. It sure beats the devil out of losing.
Success is best measured by the achiever.
Its the name on the front of the jersey that matters most, not the one on the back.
Success and excellence are not the same. Excellence grows within a person, is largely within that person's control, and its meaning lasts. Success is measured externally, by comparison to others, is often outside our control, and is perishable.
You're only as happy as your least happy child.
