Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.

If I am going to win, I gotta play a perfect match, but more importantly, I gotta for it. I started to let my shots fly and I think I learned that day that if you really want to win a big one, you can't hope that your opponent loses, and you can't hope not to lose, you gotta go out and take it.

Audrey Fleurot : « Usain Bolt est un artiste »

I was drawn to this article because of this comment of Audrey Fleurot in particular:

Êtes-vous fascinée par un sportif en particulier ?
Ah, Usain Bolt ! Je suis passionnée par le gars, je le trouve génial. J’ai vu un documentaire sur lui, c’était incroyable. La tranquillité qu’il dégage quand il court, comment il regarde les autres, je trouve ça dingue. À ce niveau de compétition, je pense que ça doit être compliqué de garder une telle joie primaire. Et le côté « je suis DJ le soir », « je joue à la console à l’hôtel », c’est très drôle. C’est vraiment un artiste.
