"In any field of endeavour, talent alone is not enough to win if it is not backed up with perseverance. The world is full of talented failures." - Cornelius Shields on sailing.
Here's how it all boils down for me:
When I win, it's due to unmitigated raw talent, meticulous preparation, and finely tuned skills. Unbeatable.
When you win, it's due to unbelievably good luck, something bad happening to me (like falling off the boat), or the most outrageous gift rating that could ever be assigned to a boat. Unbeatable.
So simple, what's all the debate about?
