'When you set out to reach a goal, no matter the amount of planning, things don't often go originaIIy as expected. The answers in textbooks and manuals are empty theory. Useless when it comes to harsh reality. When the strategy you were relying on doesn't work [...] the mediocre panic, and try to find reasons for their failure, to calm themselves. This is the thinking of a L0SER [...]

a winner never loses sight of the goal and simply tackles every new chaIIenge. Even if the plan crumbles before your eyes, as Iong as you keep trying to reach that goal [...] the hardships become the new chaIIenge. That outlook. It's what someone needs to improvise. There's no room for middling players with zero drive. What we desire are egoists who seek out chaIIenges for themselves.' - Ego e208: Blue Genes
