May I present, the post on the Stupid Man two days back notwithstanding, a koan for athletes?
A renowned sports journalist of yesteryear, Grantland Rice, once wrote:
For when the One Great Scorer comes
To write against your name.
He marks – not that you won or lost –
But how you played the game.
Vince Lombardi, head coach of the Green Bay Packers, winners of the first two Super Bowls, stated emphatically:
Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.
I propose that these two thoughts are exactly the same.
Yes, they are.
Think about it.
