This Arnold Palmer quote means to me that it is more important about the person than the situation. In many cases in our world I feel like people try to be someone they are not because they are not happy with who they really are, and that is what keeps people form being successful. You have to be content with who you are in order to be content with the things going on around you, and you have to be strong and willing to go through some rough times to get to where you want to be in life. Sacrificing is a huge part of maturing, and when you begin to sacrifice things that you want for what you need in order to progress in life, then you pushing forward to what you want your future to look like.
