How does a champion think?

  1. <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Quotes?0086465">Louis Winthorpe III</a>: Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Buy low, sell high. Fear? That's the other guy's problem. Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the unlimited carnage you are about to witness. Superbowl, World Series -- they don't know what pressure is. In this building, it's either kill or be killed. You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners. One moment you're up half a mil in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college and they've repossessed your Bentley. Are you with me?

    Not true, but he would have to give up his pride to stop believing it.
    "It" is fed with anger and contempt.

  4. thanx, again, for the question.

    exactly what (or who) is a champion? is the local sandlot bully a champion? is a member of a "championship team" a champion, though he may not have even played other than in practice? can, in fact, a person be elected to the hall of fame in his respective sport and not have a championship ring of whatever variety, and still be a champion? the subject needs to be addressed.

    next, what, exactly, is thinking?

    as a parting thought (thought?), may i quote a top performer (champion?), yogi berra:

    "you can't think and bat at the same time."

    "When I got cut from the varsity team as a sophomore in high
    school, I learned something. I knew I never wanted to feel that bad again. I never wanted to have that taste in my mouth, that hole in my stomach. So I set a goal of becoming a starter on the varsity".
