Victory is in having done your best. If you've done your best, you've won. After each game, I want to be able to say: I gave it all I could, I gave it my best. ...if you approach a challenge tentative and afraid that you will make mistakes, you will lose! Do your best; trust in yourself and what you learned. It's not about being better than someone else, it's about being better than you were the day before. |
