There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. My concentration level blocks out everything.
Concentration is why some athletes are better than others.
You develop that concentration in training and concentrate in a meet. That is the whole secret of a successful appearance. There will come to you wisdom, and patience, and solace, and above all the assurance that you are not alone in the world. There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.
