Portfolio/Reading Notes: The Will to Keep Winning

Reading Notes: The Will to Keep Winning

  • Games pit one mind against another. New games are also new opportunities for self-discovery.
  • Continued growth is the goal. Maintain drive, win or lose.
  • If you focus on tournament results, you’re deriving your motivation from cheers. In reality, you’re just as good at the game either way.
  • Aim for a level of effort you can sustain for ten years.
  • You should be able to win in all situations; know how far you can get without relying on your strengths.
  • “For each of my countless mistakes and failures, I’ve sat down and thought intently about why I lost.”
  • Seek change, and don’t overthink it - if a change is negative then you know to move in the opposite direction and can course-correct.
  • The amount of time spent improving isn’t as important as recognizing growth and realizing changes during that time.
