Complete sacrifice of all your resources.

This is why we enjoy the playoffs. Everyone knows, it's "Win or go home." No need to marshal your resources later. If you don't use your resources to win today, why play?

It works in games, and sports. Competitions, yes.

Not in life.

There are some resources that shouldn't be put on the line. These are the important aspects of life. First and foremost, living.

Use all the resources you have, as you have to, in order to survive and succeed. But don’t start sacrificing your people, your world outside the chosen profession. Ironically, the people who best succeed at blending the two together are those who know how to distinctly separate their private life from their professional one.

A bad day at the board room, should not end up being a bad day at the dining room.

There’s always going to be a tomorrow. This is much bigger than just one shot, one game, one season.
