Writing an acceptance speech gives you the expectation of winning, and you are therefore devastated or hurt if you didn't win.

Politics is about winning. If you don't win, you don't get to put your principles into practice. Therefore, find a way to win, or sit the battle out.

Acting is easier - writing is more creative. The lazy man vies with the industrious.

Acceptance supersedes expectance!

I was dreading winning. I didn't even plan a speech-I was worried that I would slip up or do something horrible. I was shaking in my seat, putting on a posed smile. Inside I was petrified.

Last time there was an expectation of winning. This time, there's more shock that we're here.
