Take what you're given

In sports such as golf, even if you execute well, you sometimes are not rewarded with the ideal outcome. You may get a bad bounce or maybe there's a terrible wind you're hitting into. You have to take what you're given and respond to that. No reason to pout or be frustrated or try to overcome something that's impossible to overcome. You deal with it.

In business that's what we sometimes deal with. It might be the economy or a new trend or a customer who disappears from the planet. You deal with it. No time or reason to be angry or rationalize. You just make the best of it and move on.

And quite often that tough break you're dealt will make you even better.
