"Thinkers think and doers do. But until the thinkers do and the doers think, progress will be just another word in the already overburdened vocabulary of the talkers who talk." - Submitted by my friend Phillip Carrero of Sydney |

Words
of Wisdom - I got an email from a friend recently who said something
so simple and profound, "pole vaulting is about having a good place
to jump, feeling good when you jump, and working hard and continuous
enough without getting hurt, that you can continue to experience periodic
breakthroughs". Along those same lines, my orthopedic surgeon told
me that training at the elite level is like walking on a balance beam
- if you fall off one side you get hurt, and if you fall off the other
you're not progressing. The older you get, the more narrow that beam
becomes. At dinner after Drake Toby Stevenson said, "Yeah, and it's a longer fall and climb back up too!" AMEN!! |
