“I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’” — Muhammad Ali. Practicing and training at something is not always fun, but it’s the building blocks for becoming truly great at something. Not giving up when the going gets tough is what makes or breaks you in any sport, field, or career. It’s all up to you.
