More From Rick Pitino

Only the mediocre are always at their best. if your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. but if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. it is okay to not win every game. the only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. if you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.
Fall Loss Winning
Set higher standards for you own performance than anyone around you, and it won't matter whether you have a tough boss or an easy one. it won't matter whether the competition is pushing you hard, because you'll be competing with yourself.
Boss Competition Matter
It's your life - but only if you make it so. the standards by which you live must be your own standards, your own values, your own convictions in regard to what is right and wrong, what is true and false, what is important and what is trivial. when you adopt the standards and the values of someone else . . . you surrender your own integrity. you become, to the extent of your surrender, less of a human being.
Integrity Important True And False
We used to have adults who set standards, moral standards, cultural standards, legal standards. they were better than we were. they gave us something to aspire to. they were people that we described as having dignity and character. that's all gone now, particularly the upper levels of the democrat party. there isn't any of that kind of decency, dignity, character, morality.
Party Character People
My take is that acting is acting. a performance is a performance. with performance capture, if you don't get the performance on the day, you can't enhance the performance.
Acting Capture Performances
People always say there is competition in nature, but i think that because we are human, it's not only competition. because we are human we have something other than competition - sharing, helping others, or being oneself. competition is really kind of ugly.
Helping Others Thinking People
