It’s easy to never lose if you follow one simple rule: only choose goals that you have complete control over.

Stoic Arrow

Your goal shouldn’t be to hit the target; your goal should be to practice as well as you can, prepare your bow as well as you can, aim as well as you can.

Once you shoot the arrow, you’ve accomplished your goal. Whether or not it hits the target doesn’t matter, because you no longer have any control over it.

You’ll always get what you want if you only want to do your best.

You’ll always win if you score the contest only by stuff that’s in your control.
