nashville redux

"I am an apostle of the now - the everlasting present. Do today all you reasonably can - in your training, your affairs.

Do not attempt to see the end of the road.  Keep your 'ends' or goals in mind, but direct your brains to the solving and satisfactorily doing all that your hands, or feet, find to do today.

Restrain the propensity, in all of us today - to dream - imagine what we will do, what we will become.

It is true that imagination is an essential quality, but not when it stops at just imagining ourselves great athletes, or successful persons, and entirely lacks the normal next step - action - the getting up and doing - in the rain, in the heat, in the cold, in the dark!  Unless you are one of the 'doers' you are destined to remain unknown, unsung, unhonoured as an athlete..."
- Percy Cerutty, "Athletics: How to Become a Champion"
