There is nothing briefer than the winner's laurel. Victory is of the moment.
It must be followed by another victory and then another.
Excellence is not something attained and put in a trophy case. It is not sought after, achieved, and, thereafter, a steady state.
It is a momentary phenomenon, a rare conjunction of body, mind, and spirit at one's peak.
Should I come to that peak, I cannot stay there. Like Sisyphus, I must start each day at the bottom and work back up to the top.
And then beyond that peak is another and yet another.
