QUOTE ; Style is reflection of your attitude and your personality."

Stance. Temperament. Belief. Approach. Character. Attitude. Achievers have an attitude &  embrace life. Achievers  remember that they  are powerful & work very hard . They embrace the moment, whether it contains an obstacle or an opportunity. They do not fuss over trivial matters and start focusing on what’s really important . They do not go through life expecting things to change. Life becomes hard and unfair when we decide to complain about things rather than trying to change them ourselves. Achievers are  bold and courageous, and take proactive  decisions that benefit growth. Virat Kohli is one such achiever . Virat is an Indian international cricketer who currently ( as on December 16 ) captains the Indian team  in Test cricket  and is its vice-captain in limited-over formats.  Often regarded as one of the best batsmen in the world, Kohli currently averages more than 50 in all three forms of cricket & is the only batsman in the world to hold that distinction. Virat is the only Indian Captain to register five successive test series wins. Also Virat is the fastest to get 25 ODI tons as well as to score fastest 5000 as well as 7500 ODI runs. In 2014, he became the top-ranked T20 batsman in the ICC rankings and holds the position, as of December 2016. Virat  was given the Arjuna Award in recognition of his achievements in international cricket."VIRAT is aptly described in this quote "Your attitude is like price tag, its shows how valuable you are"

TALENT WINS GAMES, BUT TEAMWORK AND INTELLIGENCE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS: MICHAEL JORDAN

Possibility. Appropriate moment. Suitable time. Favorable moment. Chance. Opportunity. Opportunity is to be grabbed with both the hands. We live in an age of unpredictable opportunities. If you have got ambition & skill you will rise to top of chosen profession, regardless of where you started. Cristiano Ronaldo  is one such achiever who scores goals at will & grabs opportunity of goal scoring always. No wonder Ronaldo is considered among the best two football players of the world. He was the first player to win all 4 main PFA & FWA awards in England in 2007. Ronaldo currently plays for top Spanish Club, Real Madrid. He won the Champions League for the second time in three sessions and third time overall after one title with Manchester United in 2008. Also, he is the top scorer of goals all time while playing for his country, Portugal. He has been named the  FIFA Ballon d'Or winner four times ( as at December 16 ) . Also, he has been awarded the European Golden Shoe three times. Ronaldo is the highest paid footballer in the world. No wonder, Ronaldo is regarded as one of the all time best footballers of the world ever. Quote by Cristiano Ronaldo sums it up comprehensively *Talent is’nt every thing. You can have it from the cradle, but it is necessary to learn the trade to be the best.*

QUOTE BY ANDY MURRAY * Give it everything you've got. Leave nothing out there*

Second best. Runner up. Underdog. The fact of being an underdog changes people in ways that we often fail to appreciate. It opens doors and creates opportunities and enlightens and permits things that might otherwise have seemed unthinkable. Andy Murray ( professional  tennis player ) is one such  champion PLAYER who is often called an underdog. But Andy due to sheer talent and tenacity keeps on bouncing back.

Andy Murray, currently ranked number 2  in the world is a three time grand slam winner. Andy came as a sunshine for  British sports lovers  year  becoming the first British male in 77 years to win the highly coveted Wimbledon Championships in London in July 2013. Currently on 42 career titles ( as on 1-11-16 ) , Andy is Great Britain’s most successful tennis player of the Open era, the first Briton to reach 500 ATP match wins and his maiden grand slam title ended Great Britain’s 77-year wait for a male grand slam champion. However, Andy often chokes under pressure & has lost six grand slam finals. Therefore though ANDY has shown a huge talent, but often still ends up a leg behind the winner title & is always the underdog. 2016 ( second half ) has been  undoubtedly a huge turning point for Murray as he has shown greater mental strength and bravery. Under Evan Lendl's watchful eye, Murray has really blossomed now .He has now bridged such a huge gap to stand on the brink of becoming world No 1 for the first time.

Steve Guttenberg  has famously said * If you're an underdog, mentally disabled, physically disabled, if you don't fit in, if you're not as pretty as the others, you can still be a hero.” 

Quote by Cristiano Ronaldo - " Talent without working hard is nothing ."

Talent . Expertise. Flair .Craft. Genius . Achievers have  huge talent .  They play fair & square. Achiever play for the team & their team spirit is commendable . One such exceptional achiever is Gautam Gambhir  . Gautam Gambhir is  an Indian international cricketer.

Quote from Luis Suarez “ I always want more. I always want my team to perform their best”.

Resilient. Buoyant. Strong. Tough. Achievers have resilience in plenty. They come out shining whenever they are under severe stress. Luis Suarez is one such champion footballer who plays for his national team Uruguay as well as his Spanish club  Barcelona ( among the two best football clubs of the world ) . Suarez has shown resilience . He has demonstrated capacity to recover from the tough situations . He recovered from lows  of world cup 2014 where he was banned . However, his skills  and crafty finish in 2016 for his team ( Barcelona)  has made him stand out in Spanish league (La Liga). His resurgence has meant that he has outscored both Ronaldo  & Messy in terms of goals. Luis has scored 59 goals this season for BARCELONA.  His “Pichichi” win has broken Messi & Ronaldo seven year domination. No wonder, sport lovers across the world are praising Suarez.  We refer a quote from Sandberg who is Chief Operating  Officer of Facebook  which sums up Suarez as well “You are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It’s muscle, you can build it up and then drawn on it when you need it “.

Quote by Novak Djokovic "I think luck falls on not just the brave but also the ones who believe they belong there."

Luck. Fortune. Chance. Destiny. Coincidence. There is nothing in life which you will get free or by chance. One has to be extremely focused and work hard . Only then true potential of self will be realized.  Novak Djokovic is one such exceptional  tennis champion player who is ranked world number ONE( as on 1-2-16)  .Novak started working hard right from the age of four. His grit & consistency made him the youngest tennis player in the open era to have reached the Semifinals of all four  Grand slam events.  His achievement includes eleven Grand Slam titles and has held number one spot in ATP ranking for total 184  week (as on 1-2-16).

As per Andre Agassi Novak " may very well be the greatest three players to ever play tennis". His dominance currently is such that it is said * Novak does not break serve. He breaks spirit of the other players *. Also, Novak  is extrovert, fluent in several languages and has willingness to impersonate others. All this personal traits make him quite a character.

QUOTE BY SEAN Connery * Some Age, Others Mature *

Level Headed. Rational. Accountable. Responsible. Mature. Maturity is a trait which is difficult to achieve. As one grows up within a organization or a family, one has to keep calm, own up and start taking the responsibilities. This can only happen if one is honest and makes sure to gain trust of others as well as delivers in time. It is said that Achievers mature faster than the others . Neymar is one such champion player (age-23, plays for Argentina) who has become responsible in 2015. Neymar plays Football which is a highly competitive and demanding sport. It happens many time in team games that while there are many players of exceptional talent, yet only few blossom and deliver to the team. Again and again NEYMAR  came to rescue of his famous team Barcelona by being more responsible particularly towards late 2015. No wonder he matched Messi in number of goals for Barcelona in last year, by scoring 48 goals. Also in Messi’s absence during the later part of 2015, Neymar took responsibility and along with Suarez contributed to team immensely. There’s a famous quote “Maturity is when your world opens up and you realize you’re not the centre of it.”
