Thoughts about commitment

I think what it takes to succeed remains the same.  You have to have a real love of your sport to carry you through all the bad times, you still want to ski even when things aren't working.  You must have a commitment to work hard and to never give up.  -  Nancy Greene

I think that too many of us want to see things happen quickly and when they don't, we give up. This quote should be posted where we can see it on a daily basis!

Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.
Henri Matisse

A Quote by Anna Pavlova

No one can arrive from being talented alone. God gives talent, work transforms talent into genius.
Anna Pavlova

Do you think that you were given any talent?  Thinking over my family tree, I see some who were given talent, but they didn't put that talent to work for them. Too often talent is taken for granted or completely ignored. If you want your talent to grow, you have to put in the work.
