“Every parent, coach or teacher says the same thing, “All I ask is that you give me your best effort.” If you put all you have into whatever you do, you won’t eliminate failure. If you put everything you have into everything you do, you won’t eliminate disappointment. So, why bother? When your personal philosophy is to do your best, regardless, you will always stand tall in your own estimation. Losing hurts, but it hurts even more when you realize that you haven’t done your best.”
