> "Working hard is a very sustainable trait... Part of you character... If you dont have that, then the talent does wear off... And you are drafted based on your talent and your potential. But the sustainable part of your talent and potential is... working hard. Guys who were ahead of me were always physically more gifted than me. I had to make a lot of ground physically in order to catch them." - Tom Brady > “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt
