About This Quote
People's opinions of who we are and what we do can be deeply misleading and hurtful. The world will tell you that you're great when you win, and they'll tell you you're awful when you don't. That's very helpful to know, but it's also really frustrating. It's up to us to notice the difference between the people who love us and those who don't, the people who want the best for us and those who want us to fall flat on our face.
When we win, we should still think about all of those people who said we couldn't do it. And if we lose, we should remember all of those people who said we wouldn't do it either.
