Food for thought

Well collecting Quotes and One liners is a little hobby of mine so in this blog I am compiling few of those I found really good through the course of time. Some of them are the quotes said but real people and some are from the movies I have watched and got stuck in my mind forever. Some of them are motivational and some are funny .

Inches make champions

This may seem like just a “Three-Word-Phrase” but the message what it conveys is hard to understand ... little things make big things happen

Now…. these little inches make all the differences. The Difference between a million dollor horse and a hundred dollor horse could be an INCH only. But we generally tend to ignore the importance of these little steps. The true champions are never made in a single day. They never did anything big at once but actually they took little steps to reach their targets. Let me give an example of Muhammad Ali. When Ali won Heavyweight Campionship for the first time, the radio reports rang out "Last night Muhammad Ali became the greatest champion of all the time." Now dont get me wrong. I am not saying he wasn't a great champion. but it was not the last night . You see he did not become heavyweight champion on that night. He was "CROWNED" heavyweight champion on that particular night. He became champion months and months and months ago ! he became champion when he got out of his bed early at 4 am and did 100s of miles of roadwork , he became champion when he pounded the punching bag , he became champion spending day after day in the gym . just to get better every next time . It was actually years of paying attention to the "little things" that finally paid off that particular night.

Everybody wants to be a champion, but your breaking point decides what you are and what you cannot be. You cant achieve everything in a single shot but you can definitely take step by step approach to reach to the place you dreamed of.

Well, I am hitting gym these days and there is a guy Mathew, my gym trainer. He has won many championships and awards in his life. He is now moving to Qatar or may be Afghanistan next month to train US Army and Marine Corps. I really admire this guy as he is the one who pushes me every time I work out, till my last rep of the set. He has a motto – “Push the limits” and it worked out in his profession very well.

One should not do things just for the sake of doing them . try to do them in the best possible way, try to do them in the better way u did before try to break the limits and believe me the only key to success is hard work, perseverence and patience .

By and large, success and failure are two big doors that swing on small hinges. So it’s you who set the limits and only you who dare to cross them.

Set your goals – push the limits – Cross the Inches.
