Effort
DOES IT...
A man bought a race horse and put him in a barn with a big sign the fastest horse in the world. The owner didn't exercise the horse or train it or keep it in good shape. He entered the horse in a race and it finished last. The owner quickly changed the sign to the fastest world for the horse. By inaction or not doing what should be done, people fail and they blame luck. Life without vision, courage and depth simply a blind experience. Small, lazy and weak minds always take the easiest way, the path of least resistance. Athletes train 15 years for 15 seconds of performance, ask them if they got lucky. Ask an athlete how he feels after a good work out. He will tell you that he feels spent, if he doesn't feel that way that means he hasn't worked out to his maximum ability. Loser think life is unfair. They think only of their bad breaks, they don't consider that the person who is prepared and playing well still got the same bad breaks but overcame them. That is the difference. The winners threshold for tolerating pain becomes higher because in the end he is not training just for the game as for his character. Extracts from the Book You Can Win By Shiv Khera.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. -Harold R. McAlindon If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. - John Quincy Adams

Interesting Trivia !!!

Dont

Quit !!
When things go wrong, As they sometimes will, When the road youre trudging seems all uphill. When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must, but don't u quit. A life is queer with its twists and turns, as everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about when he might have won, had he stuck it out. don't give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far. So stick to the fight when youre hardest hit Its when things seem worst, that u mustn't quit. -Anonymous
