The Ecstasy is worth the Agony! Achieving your personal goals makes work worth the pain. Like finishing your first marathon. Clocking a faster P.R. Or maybe just making your miles for the week. It never gets easier. But whatever your goal, in the long run the Ecstasy is worth the Agony!

There is no substitute for work. Worthwhile things come from hard work and careful planning .
Concentrate on your objective and be determined to reach your goal.

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities diguised as impossible situations .

Be what you are, but become what you are capable of becoming .
Get a goal/dream in life and go for it -no matter how impossible . It is difficulties that show what men are .
Resolve to see the world on the sunnyside and you have almost won the
battle of life at the outset .
Be yourself, who else is better qualified?
I would rather lose in a cause that I know, will one day triumph, than to
triumph in a cause that I know will one day fail.
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.

The athlete’s thoughts prior to training and competition are of prime importance for his success. He should think of covering the distance faster, hanging with the record holder all the way.
Training should involve first all daring - the daring to attack not only
personal records but worId records as well, and the setting of high goals in general.
Actual competition has great significance in teaching the athlete to evoke large physical efforts as well as in developing all the desirable mental qualities.
In order to achieve progress an athlete has to be driven in a gradual manner to reach the passion level of competition .
Be at your best when your best is needed. Real love of a hard battle. A great man is what he is because he was what he was.
