Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. (Mohammad Ali)
This is something that I have alwayse been believing since my childhood days, but the unfortunate part is I was never able to implement on this. There are umpteen qoutes on the miracles that a strong will power does to a person. Most of the people are unsuccessful coz the do not have stamina to persist till the very end. This, as we all know, is an era of instant gratification and we people lack the persistence that is required to make the difference. A strong will power is a big asset and some one has rightly said that
"Your greatest strength is in pursuing longer than anybody else can"
At this point in time am also reminded of another example you would like to read about - Micheal Phelps
This Olympian trains for 6 hrs a day regularly. Does that seem to be something very great to you. Not at all. Now if I say that he does not even miss the practise on Christmas. What's the feeling like? This is the kind of will power that you need to make a difference.
Life has many turns,enjoy every turn becoz it never returns..
