Woods in 2011 (Photo by Angela George) |
Life is filled with naysayers. If you buy into their predictions, then you’re flirting with a future of self-fulfilling prophecies.
The “hit ‘em when they’re down” crowd now has its muzzle pointed straight at Tiger Woods. (When LeBron recently proved them wrong, they hunted for a different king to depose.)
In an article titled “Tiger Woods’ game is spinning. So is he,” Dave Sheinin of The Washington
Post began with a close-up
of Tiger’s “receding hairline and… weary eyes.”
This was soon followed by a litany of critiques, which included everything from Tiger’s now-181st ranking to his “tabloid scandal.”
When Tiger countered with some upbeat statements, they were called “defiant” rather than “hopeful.” After all, what has optimism ever done for anybody?
Plenty. It was LeBron who said: You can’t be afraid to fail. It’s the only way
you succeed…
