Remember, on your journey to top (if that's what you want ... and it's not for everyone), sheer hard work and DETERMINATION is just as important as your intelligence and ability. Together with a POSITIVE attitude (mindset), it is probably single most important step on your stairway to success.

To be successful yourself, associate with winners - not because they are successful people whose coat-tails you want to hang onto. Rather, because they are positive people who have achieved something in life, no matter how small it may be. They do not have to be rich and famous - as long as you enjoy their company ... and them yours. There's nothing wrong with admiring or envying them as role models.

Ask yourself: Would I like to "fly with eagles, or scratch with turkeys"? There's a famous t-shirt that states: "It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys."

"Eagles may fly high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Remember:

"Success comes from 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration." - famous American inventor, Thomas Edison and one of men, who has had most impact on world in twentieth century.

What will YOUR impact be on world?

Define your targets and goals, also have dreams - big ones

No success comes without ACTION and hard work. Take one step then next will follow naturally.

As ancient Chinese philosopher said so wisely:

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step (and not a broken fan belt and flat tyre)!

Enjoy your sport... and your work (if you are a "pro" - sounds "naughty" that!)

"It's warmth you get in fruit of your work or in fruit of your efforts"

Diane von Furstenberg, founder of a fashion, beauty and a home building empire)

Success is a lifestyle which is normmally desired to continue. There are always higher peaks to be conquered - in sport and in life.

So ask yourself, WHY NOT ME?

GOOD LUCK IN CLIMBING YOUR PERSONAL "EVEREST".
