Success

Picture
Success = Ability + Hard Work + Commitment + Will

Ability
        Sometimes called talent, ability is a gift that is acquired through your parents.  While it is a reality, it is often a difficult and humbling realization for many.  Having a lot of ability certainly enhances a person's opportunities to achieve, but ability alone does not guarantee success.

Hard Work
        Having ability alone is one thing, but being able to utilize one's ability most effectively only occurs after a committed investment of oneself is planned.  This means that hard work over time without interruption will greatly influence ability.  

Commitment:
        Some athletes run without a plan and think that three or four days of running a week is commitment.  Others run without a purpose or goal while others interrupt their development by not running for three or four months.  Commitment is an investment of oneself in planned and purposeful preparation to achieve a goal.  

Will:
        You are rounding the last corner of your race and you feel like you have spent every ounce of energy, but then with just 80 yards to go, an opponent pulls up on your shoulder and offers a strong challenge.  This situation represents "crunch time", the ultimate test and challenge of sport.  There are times when you think that you have given all that you have, only to find out that even more is needed.  It is at this point that some competitors are able to draw upon an inner strength and to summon up an even greater effort, an effort that may never have believed them capable of exerting.  
        This is the use of one's will.  It involves one's will-power, the willingness to choose to go back to the personal well again and again, and even again one more time if necessary.  

SUCCESS:
        When individuals have alone done all of the above, taken whatever abilities they were given, worked hard, committed themselves to a plan, and when they have to reach for the inner self, SUCCESS IS ACHIEVED.
