It is dangerous to sit on your laurels, but a lot of the time you only have to add one or two people to the fringes of a winning team to improve it.
The only difference between a winning team and a losing team is one game. The winning team can win two out of three games...the losing team can only win one out of three.
If you see that some aspect of your society is bad, and you want to improve it, there is only one way to do so: you have to improve people. And in order to improve people, you begin with only ONE thing: you can become better yourself.
When your team is winning, be ready to be tough, because winning can make you soft. On the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing
If you can improve your franchise, even if you're doing well, you're going to make that move. You just are - at least I am. It's about winning and winning the right way and trying to sustain success over a large period of time.
It's much easier when your team's winning. When your team starts to lose, that's where a lot of these quarterback controversies divide a locker room. The key, as a pro, is to be a pro.
I think it's just telling myself, All you have to do is make one save and you're giving your team a chance. If you make two saves, your team has a very good chance of winning.'
If you get the best people on your team, you've got plenty of time to do the things you like to do and can add more value to.
You never sit on your laurels. It is always a case of trying to work on your deficiencies as much as working on your strengths.
With China and North Korea, you never know who you'll fight. The faces are always changing, and suddenly young opponents come up. It's all about winning at the Olympics, not about winning pretty. I'll just keep trying to improve, add more muscle power, and make sure I'm the last one standing.
Do you know someone you would like to change and regulate and improve? Good! That is fine. I am all in favor of it, But why not begin on yourself? From a purely selfish standpoint, that is a lot more profitable than trying to improve others - yes, and a lot less dangerous.
One time I didn't leave my hotel room for four days, I was so stuck in my head. But now, with maturity and age, I've realized that winning isn't everything. It's very much about the journey, particularly in my sport. There are so many people on my team, and I've got to be conscious of them. So while winning is definitely the ultimate goal, the lessons learned when I don't win only strengthen me.
I think any criticism bothers anybody. I get my back up when I hear stuff that I think the people don't know what they're talking about - understanding that I can improve in a lot of different areas and the team can improve.
Never, ever rest on your laurels. Today's laurels are tomorrow's compost.
We have won laurels for the country in wrestling but still, in spite of winning medals, not many people recognised us.
Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep.
I do think I have a thing or two to improve myself although it is difficult to reach your full potential at an average team.
