The moon landing is one of the most incredible feats accomplished by humanity yet, we mostly only remember two people for it: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin yet there was a third person. His name is Michael Collins
You probably never heard of him because he had to stay in the spacecraft to ensure that they could come back to earth. It'll be crazy to think of this man as a failure but. That's now the way we tend to judge things. To us, he went so close but never stepped foot on it; He almost made it
Think of Liverpool in the 2018/2019 season and the 2019/2020 season where they had 97 and 99 points at the end of the premier League season. For perspective, Chelsea has in the turn of the new Millennium (2000's) won 5 Premier league titles all of which were won with less points than Liverpool's records. Do you know what the catch is? They didn't win the league. No doubt, 1 loss in 38 premier League games is as close to Invincible as any club has ever come however, we remember them as the team as the second best team.
This is a hard reality of life. You're only remembered when you win. When you win, the sleepless nights are part of an incredible story of triumph when you lose, you're just another person.
Seeing this harsh truth stands as reality, what can we do?
We can win. We have to define what winning is, examine the cost of winning and determine if it's worth it and if it is, win!
