Motivational Monday
If you want to be the best, you have to do things that other people aren’t willing to do.
-Michael Phelps
Michael Phelps is an American Olympic medalist. He won a total of 28 medals including 23 gold, 3 silver, and 2 bronze medals. His quote reminds us of the importance of persistence and being able to work harder than others to achieve our goals in life. For Michael Phelps to reach the superior level of swimmer that he reached, he had to train in ways that others we unwilling to do. His level of commitment is reflected by his level of achievement. As an ASVAB tutor, I meet many students who expected to walk into the test site and take the ASVAB with little or no preparation for the exam. Michael Phelps’ quote reminds us that hard work pays off. Be willing to do what others to so you can achieve what others cannot.
