I am reading the score takes care of itself by Bill Walsh. I like the part where he talks about what to do and not do as a leader as a philosophy to stay sane in life or field.
Don’t
- Don’t ask, why me?
- Don’t expect sympathy.
- Don’t keep accepting condolences.
- Don’t bellyache
- Don’t blame others
Failure is part of everyone’s life. We have to learn from it and plan for the next big day. It makes us more humble.
Do
- Do expect defeat.
- Do allow yourself appropriate rest and grieving time.
- You are closer to success when things are worse.
- Do begin planning for the next serious encounters.
- Do force your brain to stop looking backward or dwelling on past failures.
