"The Other Side of Winning"


"The Other Side of Winning"

In every competitive sport the objective is to make more good shots than bad shots. But, the one who ultimately wins is the one who also makes fewer mistakes. That's the other side of winning.

As a champion, Tiger Woods has raised the level of play so dramatically in professional golf that people who can't even spell "golf" will watch him compete. He recently did something that no other professional golfer has ever done. He won four major tournaments successively. When he did it, even his closest competitors made the observation that he not only made great shots, but that Tiger Woods also made fewer mistakes.

Success in life or business is not about achieving every goal perfectly every time. It's about having goals, and making fewer mistakes each time. That's the other side of winning, and the other side of living.
