“You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.” IfsWantFeelsMindLongImportantMatterBodyGamesEnergyGrowsGrowthTermNegativeOvercomingTiredAccomplishFeel GoodGet BetterLong TermBeing The BestWorkoutNegative EnergyUnmotivatedCrappy Day Author:Georges St-Pierre

“When Ronaldo gave that little wink everyone interpreted it that he had got his team-mate sent off. You felt then that he would become a much criticised figure. But that's not really what happened. So for him to overcome all of that and emerge as one of the players of the season is quite a remarkable achievement. He is a phenomenal talent. He has tremendous pace, he goes past players and he has added the ability to shoot. He can also pick out team-mates. There is not a lot he cannot do now. I believe his game has improved immeasurably over the past couple of seasons.” BelieveLittlesPastGamesI BelieveFeltAbilityPlayerHappenedTeamTalentFiguresCoupleAchievementPicksSeasonsOvercomingSoccerRemarkablePaceMatesOver The PastPhenomenalTeam Mate Author:Cristiano Ronaldo
