I mean, they wish.
Yeah.
The ones who really want to, you know, because they're not only saying it, but they're putting on the work.
And this is a big difference because when you really believe you can get there, it's much easier.
It's never easy to work hard, but in a way you are willing to do everything to get there.
When you wish it, you do things halfway or you don't do it fully.
So that's a big difference.
Of course, if your self-esteem is big, like huge champions, I mean, legends like Serena or Venus, and I had this discussion with Richard Williams, their father, and he told me, my main focus was to create two young ladies that were believing in themselves
in general and he said to me this and i believe it whatever they would have done they would have been successful we chose tennis but if they would have wanted to be runners or singers or whatever they would have succeeded because they had this incredible self-esteem that they have and you'll see that whatever they're going to do in after tennis they're going to be successful but
Why would you do crazy efforts, working crazy hard to achieve something you don't really believe in?
Why would you put yourself at risk to fail if you don't deeply believe that at the end you're going to make it?
Nothing that people never fail.
Of course they fail, and Serena failed many times in tennis too.
But we remember what she achieved, which is much bigger.
The start is just every day do something you didn't do the day before.
Of course you want to win, but winning is not a goal.
Winning is a result.
The goal is, what do I focus on?
I focus only on things that I can control.
Winning, you cannot control everything, but there are a lot of things you can control.
