Day 260 of wisdom
“Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation.”
Robert H. Schuller
Every human being is capable of achieving spectacular achievements, everyone is born for a purpose beyond ordinary mediocrity, everyone can become whatever they want to be, but not everyone will become what they want, and should be because, not everyone is ready and willing to pay the price for what they really want from life. Potentials are in inertia until triggered, abilities are useless until put to use, circumstances remain the same until a determination is reached to change the story.
Athletes train and prepare for hours, days, weeks, months, and even years for an event that will last only a few days, or hours, and when they win the trophies, and the medals, we think it is the reward for just a few hours on the pitch, court, ring, or tracks, but we consider not their time and effort behind the scenes which enabled them achieve what we see on the big stage. The great Mohamed Ali once said, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'” if you must live your life as a winner, and champion, you must first suffer, we must work as if our lives depend on it.
Usain Bolt also said, “Easy is not an option.. No days off.. Never Quit.. Be Fearless.. Talent you have Naturally.. Skill is only developed by hours and hours of work.” everyone have got a special talent, it is natural and inborn, but you must work consistently on your skill to be developed, you must be determined to improve and better your skill everyday or else it will fail you when you need it most. It is better to be prepared for an opportunity that may never come, than to have an opportunity come to us and not be prepared to utilise it. Failure due to lack of opportunity is not as terrible as failure due to lack of preparation.
Internationally acclaimed organizational consultant and author of "All you need is a ball" Idowu Koyenikan said, “Opportunity does not waste time with those who are unprepared.” Always be prepared to cash in on any opportunity, never despise any opportunity to improve yourself. My little brother John James once said, "The product of patterned purposeful planning, partnership and preparation, is a positive performance provided proven persistence is present." if your preparation is persistent, your performance will surely be positive.
