QUOTE : What distinguishes information from opinion is that there is no judgment to it. “You ran that mile thirty seconds slower than your average.” There’s information. “You are too short to win.” There’s opinion. One can be used to improve. The other is going to alter your state of being. It’s going to affect your mood, stay in your memory, and prevent you from performing well next time. Well, next time has nothing to do with this time. <br />We have to get over this tendency we have to make positive or negative judgments over one bad day, one bad performance, one weak moment, one supposed failure. Your critics will love to linger over these things. You can’t allow yourself to linger there with them.
