Here are Bill Walsh’s 10 rules for failure:
Expect defeat and on’t be surprised when it happens.
Force yourself to stop looking back on the past.
Allow yourself some time to recover and mourn your loss. But not too long.
Tell yourself you are going to stand and fight again. You’re actually far closer to your destination than you can imagine.
Prepare yourself for the next encounter. Your next battle. One game at a time.
Don’t ask “why me”?
Don’t expect sympathy from others.
Don’t complain.
Don’t keep accepting condolences from others.
Don’t blame others.
