A Quote by Alex Dodd
Any sport that lasts six minutes, that's it, you can just imagine how intense it is, only six minutes long.If you try something, if you try a move, if you take a single leg takedown and it doesn't work, you don't give up. You don't give up; you will succeed. I think it's very parallel with the stuff that you have to do in the real world.

That will be the next big challenge: figuring out how to fight the distraction-driven mode we're in and stay focused on one thing long enough to get it done.
That intense faith in another world, that intense hatred for this world, that intense power of renunciation, that intense faith in God, that intense faith in the immortal soul, is in you.

How can you change your nature?
