You can't control what the other athlete is going to do; you can't control anything except for your competition and how you execute the race or how you execute the task.

There's a complete difference between training for a specific event and goal and just training.

You can't control what the other athlete is going to do; you can't control anything except for your competition and how you execute the race or how you execute the task.

You learn as much from those who have failed as from those who have succeeded.

Don't shoot for something unattainable - completely outside of your nature or opportunity.

It is clearly not the journey for everyone. People succeed in as many ways as there are people. Some can be completely fulfilled with destinations that are much closer to home and more comfortable. But if you long to keep going, then I hope you are able to follow my lead to the places I have gone. To within a whisper of your own personal perfection. To places that are sweeter because you worked so hard to arrive there. To places at the very edge of your dreams.

(Natural Talent + Opportunity) Hard Work = Success
