Win or Lose

Do you love to win or hate to lose? 

This line has been the most influential quote in my life and shaped the way I go about my business in the world today.

Winning has given me some of my favorite memories in life. My senior season of baseball was my favorite year of baseball in my life. We were 27-3 and I never had more fun than I did on that team.

Losing has shaped me into the person I am today. My creativity comes from my nature of hating to lose. I get a sour taste in my mouth if I lose a card game. My creativity is driven through this sport by learning to lose and wondering what I need to do to never let that happen again. When I made mistakes in my career the largest failing points were my failures. 

Losing is the way that I separate myself from other people. When I lose it gives me a reason to do something better than anyone else. It gives me ambition in the fact that I am competitive.
