The company that I work for participated in the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge Marathon in Chicago's Grant Park in May 2007. This album is a surprise for the owner of the company. This quote is taken from a book that he gave to his secretary.
Quote:
Winning is realizing you already have won by being in the running. You may not finish ahead of many other runners, but you already have beaten the much bigger pack of people who choose to move wheels instead of feet.
Losing is not starting, but being content to tell about what might be or what might have been if …
Winning is finishing the distance you set for yourself, however humble it might be. Speed is a gift your parents either gave you or couldn’t give you. You had little to say about it, so the time you take to run your distance doesn’t say much about your spirit. But endurance and persistence are qualities that are largely trained and learned. Finishing is a victory of strong spirit over weak flesh.
Losing is dropping out for no other reason than a weak will. Quitting in the face of actual potential injury is wisdom, but giving up to moderate inconvenience or mild discomfort is defeat.
Winning is measuring yourself against yourself. It is learning to take pride in your improvements, no matter how small. Later it is taking pleasure in more subtle measures of victory which have little to do with time and place.
Losing is matching yourself against everyone else who runs. This is self-defeating, because few people ever win this way, and those who do, don’t keep it up for long.
