The will to win accepts loss to grasp the final gain Explanation: The will to win accepts loss to grasp the final gain Determination means making the sacrifices it takes to succeed The will to win accepts the cost ... It is really quite difficult to get the subdued, compact tone of Nis Petersen's way of putting it. I wonder if there is a proverb somewhere - a Yorkshire saying from the moors, or a Calvinistic Scottish remark that would cover it? That is the flavour I would look for, related to his 'Mission' childhood. |
