Appreciate the process of competing. It’s not just about winning or losing, but about respecting your opponents and the game.
The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle.
The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.
To write is to descend into the abyss of oneself.
