About this Quote

This quote by Walt Alston speaks to the concept of balance and the value of not getting too expensive or too low. He is recommending that it is much better to win 2 or 3 video games, lose one, and then win two or three more. In this manner, the losses are balanced out by the wins and the team can preserve a constant level of success. Alston is likewise suggesting that if a group wins a lot in a row, they should anticipate to lose some video games too. This is because he thinks that things will even out in the end. This quote is a pointer to stay modest and to not get too positive when things are going well. It is also a suggestion to remain positive and keep striving even when things don't go as planned.
