The Attitude to Defeat Any Challenge;

 

Check out this 2 minute video of Dennis Rodgers of Houston Texas. Dennis is a strong man, and routinely bends wrenches, tears phonebooks, and bursts hot water bottles.

Watch what happens when the shackles won’t break, Dennis doesn’t get discouraged. He recognizes the challenge, and he feeds on the challenge. Dennis is turned on by the difficulty that he is facing, and it drives him forward.

This is the attitude to have if you want to be world class. The rest of the world runs away from problems. You are not just confronting the problems. If you adopt Dennis’s attitude, you will be confronting those problems with energy and with enthusiasm. You’ll be fascinated, not frustrated. Becoming turned on by difficulty is the greatest psychological skill you can develop.
