The trophy goes on a shelf. Your character goes everywhere you do.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

A trophy is a record of one afternoon, kept in a room you are not usually in. Character is the thing that walks into the next room with you, the changing room, the job, the argument with your brother. One of them is evidence of what you did, and the other is what you are doing right now.

Pay attention to how you behave in the ten minutes after a win or a loss. Decide who you want to be in the ordinary hours, not on the podium. Nobody photographs that part and it is the part that travels.
