"It covers up what your blind spots are, what your negatives, what your areas of improvement are, and if we can attack those areas with humility, with honesty, with a relentless pursuit to improve those areas, we'll still continue to work on the areas in which we were good and we need to hone in on those things. " "Winning is a fantastic deodorant: It covers up what stinks about you.
