"Every season has its peaks and valleys. What you have to try to eliminate is the Grand Canyon." - Andy Van Slyke, St Louis Cardinals
The highs and the lows, the ups and the downs. Difficulty in tempering enthusiasm as well as disappointment helps maintain the even keel needed to be productive day in and day out. Difficult to do! A particular line I always remember is from Reggie Jackson: "I was reminded (by Jim Bouton) that when we lose and I strike out, a billion people in China don't care." Keep your personal triumphs and tragedies in perspective.
