When faced with adversity or Jubilation, Vince Lombardi said something to his team that makes a lot of sense-
"NOTHING IS EVER AS GOOD AS IT SEEMS- And NOTHING IS EVER AS BAD AS IT SEEMS EITHER!" [Vince Lombardi]
And although my Dad was not really a philosopher, he did tell me something once that also made a lot of sense as we were driving through Sequoia National Park...
He said, "No matter how large, beautiful, and monolithic a tree can become, they will all eventually fall to the ground some day- That is just life".
