A Quote by Mary T. Barra

Don’t confuse progress with winning. — © Mary T. Barra
Don’t confuse progress with winning.
Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress.
Don't ever confuse motion with progress.
It’s easy to confuse motion with progress.
We confuse activity with progress, and that's always dangerous, especially in war.
People confuse being world No. 1 with winning a Major championship.
You like more the people that you work with, you believe more in them, you share some fantastic moments and that habit of winning, winning, winning... after you win, you don't want to stop winning.
There is a reality to the primary process, and you don't win primaries by being ahead in national polls. You win them by winning Iowa, by winning New Hampshire, by winning South Carolina, winning Florida.
A lot of people confuse free climbing with free solo. Free climbing is when we use ropes, but we only make upward progress with our bodies.
One of my biggest problems is I get bored too easily, and I like to experiment too much, to the point where I confuse myself and I confuse my fans.
Often the losing of a battle leads to the winning of progress. Less glory but greater liberty: the drum is silent and the voices of reason can be heard.
The whole nation thinks I should be winning, winning, winning all the time and that's a lot to take on my shoulders.
I was always winning, winning, winning. I took winning for granted.
Winning takes precedence over all of it. That's the ultimate happiness. It's not location. It's not stardom. It's not 'where can I make the most money.' It's winning, and winning championships.
Don't drive drunk. Ever. Don't shag anyone you don't like, or who doesn't like you. Get a look at how people live in a place where you don't. Suffering is over-rated, don't pursue it. Ask for help when you need it, don't when you don't, and learn to recognize the difference. Don't confuse movement and progress. Be kind. Be forgiving. Pay attention.
The pain of losing is diverting. So is the thrill of winning. Winning, however, is lonelier, as those you've won money from are not likely to commiserate with you. Winning takes getting used to.
I believe it safe to say that all progress must lead, not to further progress, but finally to the negation of progress, a return to the point of departure.
