The only way to be a champion is to know victory and defeat.  We all make mistakes and failures, and champions are those that are willing to continue to make mistakes knowing that it's all part of the process to long term success. As Teddy says, "it's the cold and timid souls" that sit on the sideline, never daring greatly, that never achieve success (or failure for that matter). Champions spend time in worthy causes, takes risks, reach high and go for it, knowing that in the end it's all worth it... the good and the bad, the mistakes and failures... because there is no victory without defeat! Know Defeat and truly Know Victory!!
