If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.

There is no such thing as a lazy person; he is either sick or uninspired.
Interpretation
People perceived as lazy may actually be facing illness or a lack of inspiration.
Zig Ziglar's quote suggests that what society often labels as laziness is a misinterpretation of deeper issues such as health problems or a lack of motivation. Instead of stigmatizing individuals for not being active, we should consider their circumstances and seek to inspire them or help address their challenges.

Yeah, I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder, because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent, but it does give you more of an edge mentally, knowing that you were in the same situation, because in sports you always find yourself behind.
People come out to see you perform and you've got to give them the best you have within you.
If you're doing something new you've got to have a vision. You've got to have a perspective. You've got to have some north star you're aiming for, and you just believe somehow you'll get there, which kind of gets to the passion point.
Persistent people are able to visualize the idea of light at the end of the tunnel when others can't see it
