(I would like to thank you Tin Iglesias for inspiring me to create this blog.)
This is my entry for the Ray-ban contest.
" I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was." -Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Roger Federer and Manny Pacquiao. These
people are examples of what we call legends. These athletes are inspiration to
millions of people around the world. But what really makes a legend?
One thing we all know is that being a legend is not easy because you
don't get what you desire without doing anything; you get what you work for.
It's a transformation that you will only see if you search within yourself the
greatness that God gave you. You need to train every day, you will sacrifice a
lot of things and you must be motivated to train. Being a legend isn't just a
walk in park but one thing we all must know is that legends are influential. A
legend must be influential that they must possess the power to inspire people.
A legend must teach people that the pain you attain in training sessions
is temporary but attaining greatness is forever.
A legend must have desire to pursue a dream. Because with desire comes
motivation that will lead to the determination to do it and then commitment
will come to turn it into a habit that is a commitment to excellence.
A legend must be fearless. They must not fear the bumps in the road that
they will encounter in their journey. Failures are part of your training.
Training in your never ending experience. Failing is not the end of your
journey. It's your decision to stand up and keep on running because that is
being a legend is all about and greatness will never wait for you. If there's a
big mountain of problems in your journey, then climb it. Because the view is amazing."Fall
down seven times, get up eight ".
And lastly, a legend must have character. Everyone must have character
on what they are doing because everyone can be great but they must dare the
inevitable. One thing YOU should always remember is that with
will, you can conquer anything. Because the will you have beats the skill of
your opponent. Your ability may help you achieve in being a legend but your
character will be the one who will help you to stay at the top. Being a legend
is for all of us. We must dare to achieve greatness. We must never listen to
anyone who will try to bring us down and we must prove to them and show to them
that we can do it. Because just like what Lewis Cass said "People may
doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do." So always try and
try and try and never give up because only the fearless can be great.
