513. Games and Attitude

If you start a game, finish it. Don’t forfeit. Don’t quit. Win or lose, see it through. Even though it’s only a game, keep your self-respect and see it through regardless of the outcome. How you play games is an indicator of your character; it’s a small thing, but it’s real. There are worse things than losing, like delaying the inevitable, having a bad attitude about it, or quitting when it’s clear you won’t win. Everyone loses now and then, and the same goes for winning. Your attitude makes the difference.

228. Better Opponent

Pick the better opponent. Hard fought and won is the best story — a lesson not learned any other way.

210. Prize

It used to be that winning something meant you got a toaster.

Contrary to how you feel, you are not entitled to anything. Be glad for whatever you receive, be it little or much.
