A few thoughts
1. Don’t be afraid of pain. It will teach you.
2. Lift for gains, not glory. Control your ego and the weight.
3. Quitting is a habit, as is winning and losing. The second two happen to everyone. The first one should never happen to anyone.
4. Lead by example. Never become someone you aren’t proud of.

World Class Fitness in 100 Words
- Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
