Part of being a big winner is the ability to be a good loser
Which way is up?
“I don’t own Barrett Hall,” I quibbled. “My great-grandfather happened to give it to Harvard.”
“So his not-so-great grandson would be sure to get in!”
“Jenny, if you’re so convinced I’m a loser, why did you bulldoze me into buying you coffee?”
She looked me straight in the eye and smiled.
“I like your body,” she said.
Part of being a big winner is the ability to be a good loser. There’s no paradox involved. It’s a distinctly Harvard thing to be able to turn any defeat into victory.
