4. Real Optimism (to Create & Grab Opportunities) w/ WChurchill's, IQ #1

On the Premiere 😃 for this “Insight Quote” Series, our founder brings a tricky quote from Ex-Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.
Some enthusiastics may say that you just gotta be Positive and things work out just well. Some may say that it’s all about perspective when confronting hardships and being able to improve.
EWS prefers to take a more balanced view and say that, indeed perspective can do a lot and put an athlete in the position of facing challenges and assess difficulties in a more realistic but empowering way, in order to efficiently work in his/her sport!
Please, if you listen even just to the quote, tell us how you look at difficulties, now.
