I’m a champion
Ok ok, yankee style…:-) but a very effective speech!
Please note the powerful crescendo using the “Last of Mohicans” soundtrack!
A fresh beginning
“I am glad you make a fresh beginning daily; there is no better means of attaining… than by continually beginning again.”
St. Francis de Sales
Immense resources
“We possess such immense resources of power that pessimism is a laughable absurdity.”
Colin Wilson, in “Poetry and Mysticism”
What time is, without music?
“Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.” ― Frank Zappa
Warriors vs. Ordinary men
“The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or a curse.”
Carlos Castaneda
“The successful warrior is the average person with laser-like focus.”
Bruce Lee
An interesting “Ave Maria”
A refreshing surprise after, Schubert, Verdi, Gounod-Bach…
Life is a gamble
“Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don’t let yourself believe it will happen to you.”
Muhammad Ali
Life force
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.”
Martha Graham
Whar are champions made of?
“Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”
Muhammad Ali
