It’s those obstacles of which I have managed to overcome that will allow me to be a winner of which we all are.

To exceed expectations as a competitor you must be eager - hungry for accomplishment, for results - hungry basically to turn into the best competitor you can be. It begins with a fantasy, yet by one means or another you must be enlivened, or you will never have the capacity to achieve your objective. We frequently read about competitors overcoming physical inabilities. Spear Armstrong survived testicular tumor and won the Tour de France two times.

If you want to succeed and stop living with the average mentality, you must not give in to the temptation to quit when things get tough.
