The Real Scorecard

"A win or loss does not make you or me a better or worse human being."

Have you ever really, truly been defeated as long as you are able to keep a smile on your face?

Baseball star Mariano Rivera surrendered some devastating runs in his career, some series-losing runs. And in the end, he was regarded by many as the greatest player of his position all-time.

Why?

Because even these world-renowned examples of "failure" didn't weigh him down, or distract him from who he is. No doubt he slept a little more poorly that night, but a lifetime of accumulating hard work and humility stamped him as one of the ultimate winners as a person - the true game of life.
