Wisdom I Pondered This Week
- “Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.” — Thomas Jefferson
- “Did I win? Did I lose?” Those are the wrong questions. The correct question is: “Did I make my best effort?” If so, you may be outscored but you will never lose.
