Quote by Dick Vermeil

If you don't invest very much, then defeat doesn't hurt very much and winning is not very exciting.

If you don't invest very much, then defeat doesn't hurt very

Summary

This quote suggests that the level of investment one puts into an endeavor determines the significance of the outcomes. If minimal effort is invested, then failure is not particularly painful. Similarly, if little effort is exerted, achieving success is not particularly thrilling. In contrast, by investing more of ourselves, defeat stings more, making victory all the more exhilarating. The quote underscores the value of committing time, energy, and dedication to fully experience the highs and lows of pursuing our goals.
