LOSING WITH A SMILE
|
Many of us watched in dismay as Apolo Ohno was disqualified in the 500-meter race by a very questionable call. Despite his agony and justifiable anger, he was able to smile during the interview, which he concluded by saying, "I'll just have to do better next time." And that he did! He bounced back to lead his relay team in the 5000-meter.
Think of a time when you lost something: a promotion, a raise, a sale, a client, or a customer. Were you able to find a smile? Did you learn a valuable lesson?

I invite you this week to observe any situation when you judge yourself
to be losing. First, think of what you are learning. Then, put on
your Apolo smile because victory will soon be coming.
