Refraining from thoughts like this is overwhelmingly beneficial: each time you stop this train of thought you get closer to victory. Anyone can make play mistakes, and instead of becoming upset when the occur, how about using a method of recovering your concentration and trying to get back on track"

Dave Williams, former (kinda current) Magic player, is a professional Poker player (He got 2nd in 2004 to Greg Raymer of weird-glasses fame) and just won a large tournament in Vegas in which he got $1.5 million. The following quote is from a Magic player who was writing about the will to win.
"At his victory party at XS nightclub (which involved the most awesome entrance I have ever been a part of, by the way, including Dave flanked by girls with sparklers and the DJ playing 'The Champ is here!' as he walked in) ...... His response was 'After all these years, I don't think how awesome it is that I got second and won 3.5 million dollars. All I can think about is that I didn't win'"
