From Martha Josey’s Facebook…
Martha Josey shares the following “words of wisdom” from her 3/9/10 Facebook page: “Practice, dedicated practice, the winner is going to devote time to that. The winner knows that the pain of practice is considerably less than the pain of not being prepared. Don’t ever let yourself lose for a reason you could have prevented. In other words, the winner is going to take care of every possibility. Anything that he or she can control will be taken care of to increase the chances of winning.” Thanks for sharing, Martha!
