[Lnc-business] New Year's Day quote

[Scott L.]

While spending a few minutes looking at web pages about elections and
losing, I came across this quote.  Somehow, this quote seems very
appropriate for the first day of a new Election Cycle.

"Except in a very few matches, usually with world-class performers, there is
a point in every match (and in some cases it's right at the beginning) when
the loser decides he's going to lose. And after that, everything he does
will be aimed at providing an explanation of why he will have lost. He may
throw himself at the ball (so he will be able to say he's done his best
against a superior opponent). He may dispute calls (so he will be able to
say he's been robbed). He may swear at himself and throw his racket (so he
can say it was apparent all along he wasn't in top form). His energies go
not into winning but into producing an explanation, an excuse, a
justification for losing."
