This quote means that nothing can you harm you unless you
let it. For example a minor issue can become a major issue if you over think
it. It is all about how you react to adversity when it faces you. Or if someone
gives you positive feedback so you believe you can slack off and not take your
craft seriously. As long as you don’t over think anything and let anything go
to your head you should be fine. This quote applies into intrinsic motivation because; as you look
to yourself for motivation you have to think positive. If you act cocky and
believe you are the best plus you don’t work hard anymore you can lose your
head. Simple things can turn into major issues because, you over looked a
slight flaw. With extrinsic motivation you have to be careful with what people
tell you. If you let some talk you up to be the greatest you may slack off
which can affect you a lot. Take in the positive feedback and let that be a
reason to work even harder to remain great.
One great quote a lot of athletes
hear from coaches all the time is “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work
hard”. This mean you don’t have to be naturally gifted in what you are trying
to do. As long as you work hard and don’t take any shortcuts you can be great. Also
if you let someone distract you by telling you that you are the best and you
slack off you can come up short on any goal you are trying to reach. To help
become the best you need to have a growth mindset. You can learn tips and
different techniques to conquer any goals you set yourself. With a fixed
mindset you may believe that you are the best but, no matter how hard you work
there is always going to be someone better then you. It is never bad to take
feedback from someone trying to help you. In our readings there was an article
which spoke about the writer saying how he played sports when he was younger. In
this story he spoke how no one had faith in him as a player. First of all he didn’t
want to play sports and with all this negative feedback it just made him hate
it more. As long as you stay positive with the proper motivation anything is
possible…
