“We MAKE our own LUCK!” “That’s right. And the more I PRACTICE , the luckier I get.” - 1961 book “The Devil to Pay” - “People MAKE their own LUCK by putting out everything they’ve got, and the more they put out, the more luck they have.” - Ethel Merman 1955 - “The MORE you KNOW, the more LUCK you have.“ - “The Burman: His Life and Notions” dated 1896 - “The HARDER he WORKS the LUCKIER he gets.” - Walter Winchell 1949 - https://lnkd.in/eDPvnJm6 ““The HARDER you WORK, the LUCKIER You Get.”” “This means that if you put in the effort, you're more likely to have things go your way. Not that luck isn't important, but hard work usually gets you to the point where luck can even come into play.” - “It turns out that luck plays a surprisingly big role in success. Some of the most successful people in the world are where they are because they’ve been lucky enough to have the right opportunities come their way. Of course, that’s not to say that hard work isn’t important. The fact is, the harder you work, the luckier you’re likely to get.” https://lnkd.in/ejHhqEbP Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

In the spirit of the Olympics, let's discuss Steven Bradbury OAM from the 2002 Winter Olympics. In the final turn, of the final lap, one of the other skaters faulted, slipped and took out the remaining three skaters, leaving Bradbury to come through for the win. It was a quintessential tale which was both inspiring and aligned with Australian humour. The name became synonymous with resilience, tenacity and a bit of luck. What the story rarely acknowledges is the amount of damned effort it takes to get into the final race, for a gold medal, in a sport that your country is not commonly known for. How many tens of thousands of hours of training did it take to get in that race in the first place?... To my mind it proves that we make our own luck. It wasn't luck that got him in that race in the first place. #personaldevelopment

Will Bowling and Billiards become Olympic Sports? #Bowling and #Billiards are two sports that were born in the entertainment industry. In most people’s minds they are games or activities and for millions of people around the world, they are sports! Sports that are recognized by the International Olympic Committee – IOC, participating in The World Games and they are a part of ARISF and SportAccord. Sports that are striving to become Olympic Sports in the near future. (Let’s go!) Whether you prefer them as sports, games, activities or even toys you buy for your house, you definitely cannot ignore all the hard work that is been done by the International Bowling Federation and the WCBS - World Confederation of Billiards Sports. It takes years of planning and organizing and communicating and bringing the right team on board in order to bring the sports to their current status and they definitely deserve recognition for that. What do you think? Should they be Olympic sports? Let me know in the comments, your opinion will contribute to thousands of athletes’ dream. (My opinion) They should be Olympic sports. Here are a couple of elements that go unnoticed by the general public: - The Physicality to compete at the highest level for many days and hours during a championship. - The Focus and Calmness you need to maintain for many days and hours during a championship. - The Precision that is required on every single shot. #Olympics #Brisbane2032

Fosbury Flop.... 1968 Olympics. Revolutionized the way of high jumper approached the event by arching their back. Nowadays, every high jumper athlete will perform using this method. But not prior 1968 Olympics. We can learn few things from this amazing story. First, this is an example how improvement in best practices can elevate the performance. Second, continous improvement is essential towards improving the best practices. Third, always challenge the conventional norm including the current best practices. Don't take all of the best practices and maintain the status quo. There are always room for improvement.
