Summary

This quote highlights the potential dangers of tying one's self-worth or sense of value solely to their performance as an athlete. By doing so, individuals may expose themselves to emotional vulnerability, setting themselves up for disappointments and self-criticism if they do not achieve the desired results. Relying on external validation, such as winning or a successful outcome, can lead to unstable self-esteem and hinder overall well-being. It emphasizes the importance of cultivating a sense of intrinsic worth and recognizing that there is more to a person than their athletic achievements alone.

Nel piccolo mondo in cui i bambini vivono la loro esistenza, chiunque li allevi, non c'Ã¨ nulla che venga percepito piÃ¹ acutamente dell'ingiustizia. PuÃ² darsi che sia solo una piccola ingiustizia quella che il bambino si trova a subire; ma il bambino Ã¨ piccolo, e il suo mondo Ã¨ piccolo, e il suo cavallino a dondolo Ã¨ tante spanne piÃ¹ alto di lui quanto, in proporzione, un cavallo irlandese dalla grossa ossatura. Io, dentro di me, avevo sostenuto un perpetuo conflitto contro l'ingiustizia fin dalla prima infanzia.

This may sound funny, but as much as the 'Today' show matured me, it also was something of a cocoon. I'd been happy there. I never went into the boss's office and pounded my fist on the desk, saying, 'Give me more money! Give me a prime-time show!'
