Fight to win, add value and be gracious in victory.
Whatever you do, whether it's to understand women, to fix yourself, to fix your marriage, make the decision to win. Not to start, not to half ass, not to bullshit yourself, but to do it, and succeed at doing it.
Trump, back in 1988 on Oprah Winfrey said,
I'll tell you what, I wouldn't go in to lose. I've never gone in to lose in my life.
During his acceptance speech, his primary focus was building up the country, working with the people, and given kudos to all the people who supported him. He won - so the fact that he won was no longer important at all. It was building everyone else up.
For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I'm reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country. As I've said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and great movement, made up of millions of hard-working men and women who love their country and want a better, brighter future for themselves and for their family.
(Edit: Re-watching the speech, I remember the part that stood out to me. He went out of his way to thank the secret service. The guys who do the grunt work, but are so easily forgotten. He remembered them.)
Everyone he's beaten and defeated, he's been gracious to in victory. That's been the biggest life takeaway for me with regard to being a better man. Win, and win big. But then move on.
For me, personally, my idols have been fictional characters, James Bond, Don Draper. No longer. President Trump is the person I want to learn about and to adopt some of his philosophies to my own personal growth. "Think big and kick ass" just moved to the top of my to read list.
