Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. Depending on what line of work you’re involved with, the ease of comfort you find in waking up each day will vary from one person to another. Every now and then, I have to remind myself of the difficult situations others, quite close to me, are experiencing […]
“Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and **** the prom queen.” In the ideal world, the winner gets a trophy and the loser gets nothing. I’d want this world, even if it means I will never get a trophy. “Do your best” is an attitude accepted in our society as an acceptable […]
This may be one of the first blog posts I’ve had in some time where the title matches the topic of the blog. Minimal significance, though something to note.
