PURPOSE!

"A soldier who only has legs, he gets tired." That was the response from a Chinese soldier in the 1930's when asked what kept the army marching for long stretches. It means that when a man has purpose (or in the case of the soldier why he's walking from point A to B) it gives him more strength or a boost. What effect does this have on weightlifting, or anything else for that matter? People work harder when they have a reason behind it. In Geoff Colvin's book Talent is Overrated he talks about deliberate practice or doing things with reason. How many times have you walked into the gym with a program you got from a magazine or online? You probably saw some results, but did you really know the reason behind those programs? Probably not.
Know where you want to go. Novices see letters, the good see words, while the best see meaning in those words. See the meaning behind the work you do.
