About this Quote

This quote by Lou Holtz is a reminder to remain humble and grounded in both success and failure. It is a pointer that success is fleeting and that failure is not completion of the world. It is a suggestion to not get too caught up in the appreciation and adulation that features success, and to not be too tough on oneself when confronted with failure. It is a tip to remain concentrated on the job at hand and to not get too captured up in the highs and lows of life. It is a tip to stay modest and to keep in mind that success and failure are both part of life, and that neither must specify us.
