Force. Life. Movement. Execute. Action. Achievers control situations by causing things to happen rather than waiting to respond after things happen.

MINDSET IS EVERYTHING.

1.     Approach. Belief. Character. Perspective. Mindset. Achievers have a mindset detsined to succeed. They are always in a domain of positivity . They  use positive words when talking . Their body language evokes strength and success.  Virat Kohli is one such champion Indian cricket player who believes in winning.

Virat is the fastest in the world to reach 25 centuries in ODI & also the fastest in the world to score 7000 odi runs.

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). Novak hails from SERBIA and has put Serbia firmly on sport map through his illustrious deeds.  Novak Djokovic  is considered as one of greater returners of the game. 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.

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.”

QUOTE FROM MAHATAMA GANDHI * If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”

Able. Bright. Competent. Proficient. Talent. Humans have got all the abilities & skills. The issue is whether we want to do it or not. It is a matter of seeking out more & demanding more from you . Super achievers have got this ability in plenty. MARIE CURIE is one such exceptional human being . Marie was of  Polish origin and naturalized French Physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. Marie achieved  the remarkable distinction of becoming first woman to win a Nobel prize. Later she reinforced her abilities by becoming the first person  to win noble prize twice ( for chemistry & physics ) .  The only person to win twice in multiple sciences, and was part of the Curie family legacy of five noble prize.  She was also the first woman to become a professor at the university of Paris  and in 1995 became the first woman to be entombed on her own merits in Paris. Her accomplishments include the discovery of two elements and  theory of radioactivity .

SPORTSMANSHIP STILL EXISTS

Competitor. Contestant. Opponent.  Challenger. Rival . Does ruthless word of lawn tennis has some heart ? Is there any scope of healthy competition & mutual admiration….or is it a *dog eat dog world* .  Yes ! Sportsmanship was evident recently in Bangkok ( October 15 )  when  Rafael Nadal ( champion lawn tennis player ) praised  Novak Djokovic ( current number one in ATP ranking ) .  Rafael praised Novak Djokovic  for playing at a level difficult to equal  & congratulated the top level Serbian for his amazing run in 2015. It may be mentioned that  Djokovic  has won three majors   in 2015.  This a very welcome move where top players are able to openly express their emotions . Generally , they hardly have anything good to say about their competitors. Novak Djokovic has said earlier in 2014 in some other context  " Its nice to have something that is greater than sport itself, you know , the sportsmanship and fair play".
