Reaching the top of any profession involves preparation. Doing so increases
the probability of sustained success. The legendary Vince Lombardi said the
following, “Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work.
Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish
anything if you’re willing to pay the price. Fatigue makes cowards of us
all. Football is like life – it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard
work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority. If you aren’t fired
with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm. Once you agree upon the
price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the
minor hurts, the opponent’s pressure, and the temporary failures. Leaders
aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else,
through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that
goal, or any goal. ” The choice to be super involves pain. No pain, no gain.
