Quotes:
“ Pain is a good thing. The moment you encounter that pain, learn to persevere. That's where success is. The moment you don't feel pain, you're not approaching success. The moment you feel that you want to quit is where success happens. I always tell people to press on, to press on, and press on. You'll get to where you're going.” – Eliud Kipchoge
“ If your current self wants to stop, borrow strength from your legendary self, borrow strength from that version of you that can fight through anything. The legend is already within you. All you have to do is to invoke it, have it come out.” – Howie Chan
“ Pain is not the enemy. It's the evidence that you're on the edge of something extraordinary. Be the legend that you already are.” – Howie Chan
