  <body>&lt;p&gt;Chuck's favorite sports team wins 1 point:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; "Everything is so GOOD!"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; "WE played so well!"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; "I LOVE our team!"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chuck's team loses by 1 point:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; "EVERYBODY SUCKS"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; "THEY played like FAILURES!"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; "TRADE THOSE LOSERS"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;YO CHUCK!&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Your winning/losing teams = SAME TEAM SON.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; The $&amp;amp;@#%*+ difference = made/missed field goal.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chuck-the-suck judges his team on insignificant results (a missing/winning field goal) -- not their proccesses in getting suck/good results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Your can win by a few points and still suck (You win on a fluke play! Yay!).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Your can lose by a few points and still be good (You lost on a fluke play! OH NOES).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, results = important; but, &lt;strong&gt;how you got those results &lt;/strong&gt;= #%*+#%* more much oh much oh many times more important.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The How&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If your processes suck (e.g., little calls made, little prospects contacted, no deadlines met, no customers satisfied, etc), and the results (e.g., $$$) are good, YOU = STILL SUK (i.e., you could've boosted $$ by making happier customers).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; DANGGGGGGGG&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Judge yourself/your-team on the &lt;strong&gt;HOW&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Focus on how you got there.&lt;/h2&gt;</body>
