The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
After a storm comes a calm.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Whatever I lack in size and strength and speed, I kind of make up for in being grittier. When it comes to something like basketball I'm definitely not the best guy on the court, but I love elbowing and pushing people out or boxing them out.
