My Mother used to tell us that before we went to every type of competition

Succeed or die trying!!!

Less dramatic, give it your all

Great advice

Better to be silent and thought a fool,
than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Sorry, a little long but still on point for me:

“This is the true joy in life: to being used by a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. To being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap. To being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish cloud of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”

George Bernard Shaw

"Do it big and let the small fall under that"

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing."

Unlike the urban myth, Coach Lombardi did not say "winning is the only thing". Here is his actual speech. If someone doesnt understand it, well ...

‘Aim for the moon, if you miss, you’ll land upon the stars’

I believe when you aim for something, just because you don’t attain it doesn’t mean it wasn’t meant to be. Just means there’s something better in store for you when the time is right.

I prefer your dads reasoning.

Like I tell my little ones .......

The answer will always be a " no " if you don't ask?!?!

Of course ..... my 10 year old nowadays is always asking for crap that he knows he won't be getting like a new Iphone X

????

I take it in stride and simply and politely answer back " no " ☺ haaaa!!!
