Commitment and success Once l was watching an interview by the famous baseball player lchiro. l knew that in general he did not like to appear on TV and he was a very private and modest person. One specific comment he made never left my mind. lt all made sense to me and l found that the quality he had would apply for anybody who succeeded in their pursuits of their goals in life. He spoke that he would practice at the same time and the same amount whether he lost his game or not. l believe that anybody who is able to commit themselves to practice something as regularly and as much as he does, we can speak that such person truly loves what he does and is faithful to his or her commitments. But what keeps people from committing themselves from things they truly love and from goals they wish to reach? Perseverance? Making decisions? Will power? l believe the second, the ability to make a strong decision. To be able to say: " No matter what comes in between, l will practice five hours every day." and then realizing it like lchiro does, will not only make you improve in what you practice, but make you mentally incredibly strong especially when you have to make the best out of your performances at any time required like lchiro has to. Perhaps in performances, mental strength plays as much role as the physical strength.

But what keeps people from committing themselves from to things they truly love and from goals they wish to reach? Perseverance? Making decisions?

Commitment and success

Once l was watching an interview of the famous baseball player lchiro. l knew that in general he did not like to appear on TV and he was a very private and modest person. One specific comment he made never left my mind. lt all made sense to me and l found that the skills he had would apply for anybody who succeeded in the pursuit of their goals in life. He said that he would practice at the same time and the same amount whether he lost his game or not. l believe that anybody who is able to commit themselves to practicing something as regularly and as much as he does, we can say that such person truly loves what he does and is faithful to his or her commitments. (more natural: I believe that anybody who is able to commit themselves to practicing something as regularly and as much as he does can be said to truly love what they do and to be faithful to their commitments.) But what keeps people from committing themselves to things they truly love and to goals they wish to reach? Perseverance? Making decisions? Willpower? l believe the second is the biggest reason—the ability to make a strong decision. To be able to say, "No matter what comes in between, l will practice five hours every day," and then realizing it like lchiro does, will not only force you to improve in what you practice, but make you mentally incredibly strong, especially when you have to make the best out of your performances at any time required like lchiro has to. Perhaps in performances, mental strength plays as much of a role as the physical strength.
