Not sure of the author:
Winning is not normal, and people who win do so by following an abnormal path. The discipline and dedication and sacrifices are incomprehensible to the thousands, standing outside looking in, who are capable of joining, yet unwilling to pay the price of admission.
Winner win in a fair effort, on a level playing field because they deserve to win, they’re willing to pay their dues, in full, time after time after time.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” - Calvin Coolidge

The following quote is one of my favourites and it was first said by one of T-Nations members:
Stop making excuses for why you don’t have certain things, don’t look a certain way and can’t do this and can’t do that. Get off your lazy fucking ass, grow some balls and go make shit happen. Create your own destiny and use the most powerful thing you were given since birth - free will.

“Life is like riding a bike. If you don’t keep moving forward, you loose your balance.”
“Better to curse the high cost of a good powertool once, than to curse a cheap powertool everytime you use it.”
“Pain is just a sensation. Where do you think they got the word ‘Sensational’ from.”
I have to say, today Strong Words are spot one. Some days I just want to throw in the towel, though.
“Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.”
James Dean
Human beings are the only creatures on the earth that are born into a natural state of disorientation with our world. That is while all other creatures are guided by instinct of which they are neither aware or have the capacity to question, each of us as human creatures was given the god like powers to create his or her own life. And each of us does exactly that all the years of his or her life.
Every day we put in place actions and ideas that will determine the shape and substance of our tomorrows. For some those ideas and actions lead inevitably to extraordinary achievement and rewards. For most they tend to lead to a middle ground in which great numbers of people take their cues from each other without question or consideration. And for some, those actions and ideas lead to repeated frustrations and problems as they spend their lives in the bottom layers of the socioeconomic pyramid.
Success or failure as a human being is not a matter of luck, or circumstance, or fate, or the breaks, or who you know or any of the other tiresome old myths and clich?s by which the ignorant tend to excuse themselves.
Earl Nightingale
Knowing others is intelligence;
Knowing yourself is wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
Mastering yourself is true power.
