___1___
do The Beatles, Thomas Edison, David Beckham, Mokhtar Dahari and
Bill Gates have in common ? They are all ___2___
and they are all geniuses in their realms. Most importantly,
they have all reached the top by putting in long hard hours.
I played football under Mokhtar Dahari. He was an intense
coach, always pushing us ___3___
during our training sessions. One day, I asked him about the
goal he scored against England. He replied, 'I guess I got
lucky.' Then he said, 'But you make your own luck. The more you
practice, the ___4___ you
get. So stop asking me questions and keep practicing.'
David Beckham, famed ___5___
his lethal free kicks, was not born with those ___6___.
After the usual practice session, Beckham ___7___
back and continue practicing and practicing -- 500 free kicks a
day. 180,000 free kicks a year. The effort soon translated into
an ability and talent we call genius. |
