It’s Not About How You Start, It’s How You Finish

I took my kids to games all the time when they were younger. Sometimes it happens where there’s a blow out, the game gets out of hand, and the stands start to empty.

“Dad, can we go?” they would ask.

No, we would stay firmly planted in our seats. Why?

“Now I can see who is really playing this game.”

I always think you can learn a lot about a team and its players when the final score becomes just a formality. If you see no difference in someone’s play, regardless of the score, you know what type of player and ultimately what type of person they truly are.

How you finish one game has a lot to do with how you start the next game, which is something that’s been talked a lot about during all of the blowouts in this year’s NBA Playoffs. A lot of people get respect for ending something with class, hard work, and doing things right. Just because you’re losing, it doesn’t mean you lost, not only on the field, but also in business.

I think back to a story Christine Jones told me. She was the former general counsel at GoDaddy and was running for Governor of Arizona. Towards the end of her race, her opponent got nasty. While Christine ultimately lost, she stayed on course, focused on her issues, didn’t end as a sore loser. She never threw anything negative back at her opponent.

So what happened? Sure enough, Christine got called for 5-6 prominent, dream job-type offers at major companies that loved her style and the way she went about her business.

It’s how you finish, not necessarily whether you win or lose that sets you up for the next game; the next opportunity.

  • EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

    Contact Doctor Odunga at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

    I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
    When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

    Contact his email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
