I gave myself permission to care, because there are a lot of people in this world who are afraid of caring, or afraid of showing that they care because it's uncool. It's uncool to have passion. It's so much easier to lose when you've shown everyone how much you don't care if you win or lose. It's much harder to lose when you show that you care, but, you'll never win, unless you also stand to lose. Don't be afraid of your passion.
You can’t win unless you try to win, but you can lose by trying not to lose.

Democracy requires you to learn how to lose as well as how to exercise power when you win. And that requires restraint all around.

Part of being a champ is acting like a champ. You have to learn how to win and not run away when you lose. Everyone has bad stretches and real successes. Either way, you have to be careful not to lose your confidence or get to confident.
Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself, You gotta believe in foolish miracles, it's not how you play the game, it's if you win or lose, you can choose, don't confuse, win or lose.
It's tough to lose, but it's a lot tougher to lose knowing how good it is to win, how good it feels to win.
You can't become a winner overnight, or even in a couple of years-it takes time...
