The Winning Mind!

Hey all,
I 've been away from the blog for a while, primarily focussed on other things at the academy but also finding it a bit tedious trying to come up with stuff to write every week (I can understand why so many blogs are cr*p now, because their authors get into the monotony of writing cr*p for the sake of a post). Here is a truley inspiring quote (paraphrased) from a book I am really immersed in at the moment. The Winning Mind: My Inside Track on Great Leadership: Developing Inspirational Leadership and Delivering Winning Results by Lord Sebastian Coe.
----
"Success stems not only from the overall achievement, but from a profound connection with the project in hand, the professional relationships and support earned from others and the challenges that occur and are overcome along the way.
"'The road to gold' is usually bolder-strewn and there are few shortcuts. It does not run in straight line from the start line to a successful finish; it may take unforeseen twists and turns over many years and will involve planning, hard graft, daily challenges, frequent setbacks and many small wins along the way. Every one of those small moments of effort will take you closer to a winning position and your ultimate goal."

"At various stages in my life people have said to me 'it can't be done.' That just makes me try harder"

Train intelligently!
