"Winners are losers that got up one more time and tried again"
"You haven't lost until you give up"
Grandpaw...I like that first one, especially. In this day and age of "everybody's gotta play" baseball, I seem to remember that Michael Jordan didn't walk on his high school court an instant success. That didn't stop him, though, and look what he became.
If you're not a starter, work harder. If you lose, keep trying. As a kid, in competitive baseball, I was on two teams that went undefeated, only to lose in the championship game of the playoffs. The next year we went 10-2, but won the championship. Losing those first two years made that champion all the more sweet. It still ranks as my best baseball memory, even though my 18 and under team also won the City championship in great fashion and played for the state championship. That was quite a season as well.
Great post for the day after the Phillies come from behind Game 1 win.😊
My very successful oldest daughter says her motto is pretty simple - "Never Quit".
But there's also the idea of beating your head against a brick wall.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

Not quitting and not adapting isn’t a good combination.

My Mom used to say that when I indicated I had nothing to do. Maybe she was training me to be "great"?

Yes and that's how people become successful.

Here is another…
"Anyone can achieve their fullest potential.
Who we are might be pre-determined but the path we follow is always of our own choosing.
We should never allow our fears, or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.
Your destiny can't be changed, but it can be challenged.
