WOW! The original poster hit a nerve with some of you.
The meaning is profound. It applies for all aspects of one's life, more so today.
Education, Career, Athletics, Marriage, Parenting, Coaching, etc....Life is competitive. Life is not fair. WE KNOW THAT.
Teaching your son to work hard, do his best each and every day and ignore those who dare to standby and criticize, a great philosophy to live by.
By how some of you have reacted to the quote, the original poster nailed it. Teach your son to be a man of character, the like-minded will unite and the rest of them will react like you.
