Hemingway is often quoted when talking about outstanding performance because he defined it in terms of 10% talent and 90% sweat. In this regard, he wrote about how strong this belief of his was.
“I wrote the last page of Farewell to Arms 39 times before I was satisfied.”
It is a sentence that all those athletes who when they make a mistake get down and think they are not capable enough should know and comment on. You have to do and keep redoing until you come to deliver the best performance of which you are capable.
Stopping at the first mistake only serves to put a smile on the faces of opponents who will know they have one less contender.
