Winners Vs Losers

A Big difference between people who succeed and people that don't, is their mindset. -

"Forget, 'I Can't'. Say, 'I presently struggle with'"

Think About It

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
- Viktor E. Frankl

People who have short fuses don't take advantage of this space, To be a patient, Logical, Respectable person, you need to extend the space for as long as needed to produce a clear-minded response to whatever stimulus is present. The more you train yourself to make the best decisions possible, in an extended period of time, the easier it will become to make those same decisions in a moment's notice when it is needed.


and Why not have a part 2 to this:

"Why Wait until tomorrow, when you can begin today"; "It's never too late to be better than someone. It may be too late to be better this weekend, or this month, or even this year. But someday, if you keep going, you will be better, if you try hard enough."

So what are you waiting for? Because if you are waiting for someone else to drop out of the race - you are no longer racing.

Be Different

"Read Something no one else is reading, think something no one else is thinking, and do something no one else is doing"

To be ahead of the game sometimes it takes not knowing the normal water-cooler talk, it takes know the new info that's not out there yet. Always educate yourself, break out from the normal.

Forever young

Love this song and thought of this while it was playing:

for years I prayed it wouldn't happen, had a few scares and more than once had to man-up and set the record straight. Now that it has happened and everything is becoming real I can't imagine anything different. And for the fist time I can imagine the future differently. It's not all about getting ahead, its about slowing down.

New stuff

This is my new blog. I'm going to be posting information on swimming, work, school, life, etc.

Request anything and I'll try to provide my 2 cents on it. just a disclaimer - always try out what I say before quoting it as fact... I'm a freestyle kinda guy so who knows if what I say is 100% true, usually it's at least 75% and as we all know that's good enough to pass classes, so with that understanding we're good to go.
