Stop making excuses!

Came across a nice article today and decided to share it on my blog and also as a reminder for myself. There are some comments on Singapore athletes by Wilson Kipketer, a Kenyan born athlete, in this article "Champions don't make excuses" which are quite interesting:

"I don't see why they cannot have good results if they can have good results in school. Why not out of school?"

"You talk about the hot weather, that's an excuse, that's not the reason. You live in this country, so you cannot complain about the weather, you have to get used to it. You want to sit and make excuses, or you want to do something?"

 "People say it's about military (national service), but military is not going to stop you … I don't see a university where they say there is only studies, no running, because nobody is going to stop you in what you want to achieve. "It's something you have to do for yourself, so it's nothing to do with the system, nothing to do with schooling or military, it's something to do with you."
