Thoughts That Matter September - October 2020 Newsletter
"WINNING" Quotes
We always enjoy researching and then selecting the best quotes to feature in “Thoughts That Matter” to share with our existing and potential clients and candidates.
This time we set out to select Quotes on “Winning” and “Losing”. But we ran into a few unexpected outcomes:
First, after considering hundreds of potential “Winning” quotes there were so many great quotes on “Winning”, it was decided to just share
those on “Winning”.
Second, much to our surprise, all of our Top 10 favorite quotes were from well-known sport’s coaches, team owners or athletes – none where from well-recognized business world personalities. We narrowed it down the top 6 for this issue.
