Never Give Up

You might have been like me and watched The Masters this weekend.  Like many, I always enjoy that tournament.

There is one thing about this tournament that I really loved.  Tiger Woods back nine on Sunday.  He had an atrocious hole on the Par 3 12th.  He scored a 10.  I watched it.  Some of his shots looked like a few of mine.

Did he quit?  No.

The defending champion birdied five of the last six holes to come in at 4-over 76 on Sunday.

Grit.  It’s not born in you.  You learn it.  Not quitting.  It’s not a gift from a Creator, anyone can do it. Tiger has all that in spades.  You can you will you must.  MTXE.

Great metaphor for entrepreneurship.  Guys who run their own business that they built are like that.  I am reminded of a few people I know who built their businesses from nothing to multibillion-dollar companies.  Some public, some not.

Tiger also had to suck it up and present the green jacket to the new champ, Dustin Johnson.  He couldn’t go sulk and feel sorry for himself.  He never plays the “victim” card, ever notice that? He wins and loses with class.

I don’t care what happens in the future with Tiger.  He will always be one of the greatest champions for me.  Today’s back nine showed why.
