I read Undaunted Courage (a Lewis and Clark biography) and they showed all of these traits. Self denial and perseverance and tackling bears and shit.

Mentality is a big factor in TF2, like any competitive game. Think about how many situations where you lose a fight and people rage and clog comms, all you're focusing on is the negative aspect of the last push rather than the current situation, so often I see teams lose one fight in a push and continue to make individual errors based on poor choices rather than a lack of ability.

Though mentality being described in this scenario is more the qualities that a strong minded leader needs in-game. The one about toxic people is a big example, you don't put people in your team who rage a lot or don't show up to practicing because their attitudes have a toxic effect on everyone else. Just ask Herr P about his experience of playing on a certain team before he struck it big in the TF2 world, I would wager that Herr P learned more about TF2 with 3 gruelling months of rage-filled pcws than he would have for years of playing with friends.

Well for me, I have this one thing.. I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind - I designed this rhyme to explain in due time. All I know, time is a valuable thing; watch it fly by as the pendulum swings. Watch it count down to the end of the day. The clock ticks life away; it's so unreal. Didn't look out below? Watch the time go right out the window. I tried to hold on, but didn't even know. I wasted it all just to watch you go.

The author of the essay is literally incapable of avoiding cliches. Pretty poorly written.

Hidden deep underneath the layers of anime and waifu's, there is a good commenter that surfaces in Pankeyman every once in a while.
