What CHAMPIONS have in COMMON

BIG DREAMERS and have set attainable goals.
Every champion dreams big to make their dreams into achievable yet still challenging, exciting goals in life. Goals that are clearly defined, difficult, but realistic and have target deadlines or else they might as well be fantasies. Whether rich or poor, young or old, it is free for us to dream.

DISCIPLINE and NON-STOP TRAINING
If you are a boxer, you can not just go to the gym and work out everyday and hit bags. You need to study tapes of your opponent. You need to design and develop different game plans for your opponent. You need to be prepared. Success need continuous study or training, tackling challenges beyond our comfort zones, hard work and knowledge.

PASSION
Give your all. Michael Jackson once explained his passion for his art. He said:" and my goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive - the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.

EXCELLENCE
It is not enough to be good at what we do, we must always strive for the very best. Everything worth doing is worth doing exceedingly well.

FOCUS
A person who is more focused on his/her core competency or vocation will have higher chances of attaining excellence and great success.

COMPETITION helps make champs
A healthy competition brings out the best in us and alerts us to always improve ourselves. We must continuously outdo ourselves for the best conquest is conquiring our own fears, demons and our own weaknesses.

THINK like a CHAMP
Every champion, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, Roger Federer, Manny Pacquiao - have indomitable mental aptitude to visualize their goal of winning or shattering world records. As General Douglas MacArthur said:" in war there is no substitute for victory".

Be aware, everything starts in the mind. We should not doubt, we must be mentally strong even against any obstacles.
