Episode 108: Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat

Christopher Earle coined an excellent phrase about winners and losers.  Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Conflict often ends with some as winners and some as losers. The current winner can become the loser next time – and vice versa. The choice we make – and it is a choice – about how to behave should reflect our own sense of honor. It’s true, too, that others will notice how we conduct ourselves and remember it in the future.
