“I sit in my house in Buffalo and sometimes I get so lonely it’s unbelievable. Life has been so good to me. I’ve got a great wife, good kids, money, my own health—and I’m lonely and bored.… I often wondered why so many rich people commit suicide. Money sure isn’t a cure-all!” (O. J. Simpson, People Magazine, 1978).
Fear of losing is what makes competitors so great. Show me a gracious loser and I'll show you a perennial loser.
