The difference between winning and succeeding
Summary
The speaker seemed to be a famous basketball coach. He had to lead his team winning and succeeding. Probably, there were huge differences between his thoughts and others including media.
Thus he strongly redefined success.
He didn’t like one way of judging which only earned an A or a B. He really believed that “Thou didst thy best, that is success”. It means to try to improve the situation that exists for you with hard effort as possible.
And then not only do that but also you have to have rules which are that never be late, be neat and clean, never criticize a teammate, don’t whine, don’t complain, and don’t make excuses.
Winning is just a byproduct of making a huge effort. “The journey is better than the end”. For succeeding, continuing making an effort must be fun. Pursuing the best in yourself. I love his story.
