Keeping score of old scores and scars, getting even and one-upping, always makes you less than you are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It never became an obsession for me to score at all costs. I've always said that I'm not a big scorer, I'm a worker.
If I spent the rest of my life getting even with the people that had helped me out, I would never settle the score.
If you're not the brightest or if you're not great at sports, or if you're not artistic, then you've got to find a way to make your mark; otherwise you're just this tiny little insignificant dot. I didn't want to be insignificant, so I made people laugh.
If you lose sight of the smaller accomplishments, you end up with an imbalance in your life.
I grew up in athletics, where people keep score.
God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.
We keep score in life because it matters. It counts. It matters. Too many people opt out and never discover their own abilities because they fear failure. They don't understand commitment.
I try to keep myself on an even keel by trying to be as critical of myself as I am of other people. I try to separate my performance from myself.
Scars show toughness: that you've been through it, and you're still standing.
Wounds turn into scars and scars make you tough.
