Shame on us for not trying harder. For having dreams and goals and ambition, and then giving up. Shame on us for knowing how to be better business people and just not putting in the time.

Maybe losing is more than the “bad luck” that we situationally bemoan. Maybe we are creating a destiny of losing by making bad personal decisions.
