"There are only three sports: bullfighting, mountain climbing and motor racing; all the rest are merely games."
Hemingway
"The greatest mountain we need to climb lies in our own minds. It's not the highest mountain that we conquer, but ourselves, our own mentality. Overcoming perceived limits to reach (attain) the pinnacle of our own minds."
- craig (as inspired by the words of Sir Edmund Hillary, conquerer of Mount Everest (1919-2008)
"The Zone is where you find your best performance and everything flows. I believe you have to push the limit of an activity to get this kind of experience.
You have to practise to find the Zone. If sportsmen repeat this often and practise going step by step into a spiritual state... a lot of sportsmen have worked hard on their mind and many have worked on a spiritual path.”
"In his finest moments Ayrton Senna found tiny glimpses of a Heaven on Earth to which we can ALL aspire, with or without a pit-pass, as we shall see..."
- Clyde Brolin writing in in his fascinating book ‘Overdrive: Formula One in the Zone.’
“The untapped potential in every human being is limitless: we are perfectly capable of producing, all by ourselves, true magic.”
“I want to write the way Gilles Villeneuve drove and power-slid his blood-red Formula One Ferraria with wild enthusiasm and a sense of abandonment, combined with the artists craft of a Stirling Moss, a Jim Clark, and especially that of the great Ayrton Senna, living on the razor-blade edge of life.”
"Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win."

"Together, one mind, one person at a time, let's see how many people we can impact, empower, uplift and encourage and perhaps even inspire to reach their fullest potentials."

Now let’s start writing this e-book or perhaps an interactive ebook-video (“e-bidio/ebutube”??)* and see where the journey takes us.
I WILL start writing today, but here’s a few pages in the meantime

"There is only one thing that has power completely, and that is love. Because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power. Only strive for power, if it is not at the cost of other people. Power corrupts. You first have to be pure and righteous, before one can attain power. I believe that love is a greater force than power."
- Alan Paton, great South African humanitarian and author of the classic 'Cry the Beloved Country'
"Let us build bridges rather than barriers, openness rather than walls. Rather than borders, let us look at distant horizons together...in the common spirit of the value and dignity of a shared personhood - our common humanity as citizens of planet earth."
“When (or perhaps if ever) you arrive in heaven, let faith and love be the wings that carried you there.”
- as adapted from the inspiring words of Jonathan Edwards, former minister in New England, Massachusetts
“The Greatest Race: Living by (with) faith, hope and love is the highest podium any person can reach, God’s podium that anyone stand on.”
“Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win.”
