Your wins and losses are important, yet the integrity with which you act matters even more. Keep that in mind when seeking the victories and recovering from defeat. 你的输赢很重要，但你行事的正直更重要。在寻求胜利和从失败中恢复时，请记住这一点。

It is great to triumph, to achieve, and to excel. And sure, it’s painful to lose. 胜利、成就和超越是伟大的。当然，失去是很痛苦的。

Yet if you abandon your treasured values in order to win, the prize is empty. When you compromise your integrity for the sake of accomplishing something, you gain nothing of value. 然而，如果你为了胜利而放弃了你所珍视的价值观，那么奖品就是空的。当你为了完成某件事而妥协你的正直时，你不会得到任何有价值的东西。

The enduring benefits of achievement do not reside in the achievement itself. The real value of success is in the way you live your life while you make it happen. 成就的持久好处并不在于成就本身。成功的真实的价值在于你如何生活，而你如何实现它。

Focus on winning, to be sure. Yet be careful not to destroy your integrity just so you can claim the mere tokens of victory. 专注于胜利，这是肯定的。然而，要小心，不要破坏你的完整性，只是为了你可以声称仅仅是胜利的象征。

Each achievement you pursue is an opportunity to bring out the best within you. Act always with integrity, and whether you win or lose in the moment, you’ll set yourself up for long-term success. 你追求的每一个成就都是一个机会，让你发挥出最好的一面。始终以诚信行事，无论你在当下是赢是输，你都会为自己的长期成功做好准备。
