this setback stop him from playing the game and
he has stated, “I have missed more than 9,000
shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games.
On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take
the game winning shot, and I missed. I have
failed over and over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed.”

Social Pressures will increase, specially from Family
Financial Pressures will be present
Performance will be a result of Self Motivation and Not any External Pressure

Rationalizing Winners may analyze but never rationalize? That is a loser's game. Losers always have a book full of excuses to tell you why they could not. We hear excuses like:- I'm unlucky. - I'm born under the wrong stars.- I'm too young.- I'm too old. - I'm handicapped. - I'm not smart enough.- I'm not educated.- I'm not good looking.- I don't have contacts.- I don't have enough money.- The economy is bad.- If only I had the opportunity.- If only I didn't have a family.The list can go on and on.
