"Tu ne joues jamais vraiment contre un adversaire. Tu joues contre toi-même, tes propres standards les plus élevés, et lorsque tu atteins tes limites, c'est la vraie joie."
— Arthur Ashe
Simplified Meaning:
When you take on a challenge or competition, it's not just about beating someone else. Instead, it's about pushing yourself to do your very best. Imagine you are a runner in a race. The real victory is not about coming in first place, but about running faster than you ever have before. It's about reaching a new personal record and feeling proud of how hard you worked. This is true joy because you've tested your own limits and succeeded in surpassing them. You can take this idea into your everyday life by always striving to improve and do better than you did yesterday, rather than worrying about how you compare to others.
