champions? The difference is how you handle success. With Champions, success is never unexpected; it's a natural result that comes from continuous, unselfish, unrelenting determination to win, never letting down, never letting outside influences into the game. Champions know it's not having the talent to win that makes a champion; it's having too much pride to lose. Season after season. Year after year. Championship after championship. Socrates One day the great philosopher Socrates came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him and excitedly said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to answer three questions about what you heard and want to tell me. The first question is Truth.
Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me
is true? The second question is
Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student
something good about them?" The third question is what you
tell me about my student going to be Useful to me?" Socrates asked, "If what you want to tell me is neither confirmed Truth, nor Good news, nor even Useful to me, why tell it to me?" "Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others." |
