Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4858850, member: 44"] Not in the least. It's valuable because it is a statement that at that one moment in time, at that one season, we were the best among our peers. Winning them consistently, say, oh I don't know, once every five years or so for decades, is a statement that we are consistently among the best in our sport. Trying to be your very best version of yourself, a trait of successful people, typically is a personal goalpost. To people who are truly at the top of their respective endeavors, what other people say is irrelevant. So, no, failing at being the very best version of ourselves so that we fit in better with the pack is not a goal. It's an excuse made by also rans, and not surprisingly, one that we don't make to ourselves. [/QUOTE]
