A wise player ought to accept his throws and score them, not bewail his luck.

The Bell curve is a fact of life. The blacks on average score 85 per cent on IQ and it is accurate, nothing to do with culture. The whites score on average 100. Asians score more ... the Bell curve authors put it at least 10 points higher. These are realities that, if you do not accept, will lead to frustration because you will be spending money on wrong assumptions and the results cannot follow. Unfortunately, my IQ scores have always come lower than the Asian average, but we have to make exceptions for outliers sometimes, don't we!

Roger is a complete player. What he has, and it's not luck, is the ability to change his game slightly as to what his opponent's doing to him.

Unlike Rachel, Player One has a complete overview both of the world and of time. Player One’s life is more like a painting than it is a story. Player One can see everything with a glance and can change tenses at will. Player One has ultimate freedom, the ultimate software on the ultimate hardware. That realm is also the one place where Player One feels, for lack of a better word, normal.
Douglas Coupland
"He’s the best midfielder I’ve ever seen. He can pass, score goals with his left, right, his head – he can do anything. And he can beat a player too, plus he loves to nutmeg you! He's unbelievable."
Paul Scholes
Sachin Tendulkar is a god in India, a phenomenal player. His life seems to be a stillness in a frantic world and I admire his mental strength. He is a phenomenal player. When Tendulkar goes out to bat, it is beyond chaos - it is a frantic appeal by a nation to one man. Tendulkar seems like a spiritually rich individual, a solid human being; quite reserved and thoughtful to speak to. The people of India see him as a god, Stephen Waugh is almost a god here, but Sachin is a god and people believe good luck shines in his hand.
