I need motivation to get back up and find a new job after getting fired today. Well fired isn't the correct term. Released from my contract is.
Tom Landry had a saying about football practice... I think it went: “Perfect practice makes perfect.” (If you practice like you’ve never won, you are just repeating and ingraining the [bad] habits of a team that always loses.)
I believe the implication is that you stay hungry. You don't rest on your laurels. The quote was about one's attitude towards training rather than the structure and composition of their training program.
