Win, Learn How to Lose, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

“You won't win until you learn how to lose. I don't like to do it, but I can stand it. Along with everything else, you have to acquire the ability to accept defeat. No one makes it without stumbling.” - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Special Report: Sports (August-October 1990)
