Perhaps an answer
Thanks to Seablogger for pointing out this article at WorldNetDaily. It's a bit preachy and almost smug, but I think he's on to some of the answers especially when he points out that triumph and disaster are both impostors (Kipling's word) and need to be reacted to carefully.
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same …
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you …
Come to think of it, Obama should consider this, too.
