Leave it to R.S. McCain to take a relatively unsettling suggestion…

…and turn it into a halftime speech that Knute Rockne would’ve cribbed.

The difference between success and failure, between defeat and victory, between a winner and a loser is this: A winner does everything he can do, and then says to himself, “I haven’t done enough. I need to do more.” He makes victory his goal and, by relentless effort, he makes victory his habit.

…A winner emulates success, a winner exemplifies success, and a winner encourages success. A winner is not a whiner. A winner does not envy or derogate the success of others. He does not demoralize others by a defeatist attitude. He does not take counsel of his fears. He is not a crapweasel. He gives his comrades faith for the fight.

OUTLAW! WOLVERINES! VICTORY!

And by the way: there’ll be a Tax Day Tea Party Protest in Madison, Wisconsin, 11 a.m. at the State Capitol. Sign up at Fight Back Wisconsin.

UPDATE – In the comments to RSM’s post, Dad29 sees my Knute Rockne reference, and raises!
