The aphorism I selected is a quote by Michael Phelps. "You can't
put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get."
I found this quote in this website
I selected this one because it was in the sports
section, and I believe sports takes up to 80% of my life. Although it is a
little cliché, but I can still relate to what he was trying to say.
This quote made me think a lot of myself. I love sprots, and I have
always been a very sporty person. I like to move and exercise my
body. I have been in the school gymnastics team for almost 11 years. I've been
always under a lot of pressure and I have thought of giving up. But as the
quotes says, the more you think about it, and fight for what you want, the more
you will achieve. I agree with this feeling because it is true, every time you
think and be positive about something, you will do it. When I am in gymnastics
in a competition and I feel like I can't do anything else, and think
of giving up, I just imagine me being successful
and achieving what I want, and that positive thinking and attitude
gives me strength to keep on fighting. Also when I run, I think and
believe I'm not tired, even thought I've been running for an hour. Like the
quote says, you can't place a limit, because you can achieve
practically anything you are up to achieve. I believe people just
have to believe in themselves and keep giving more of them each time.
I feel this should be the "motto" of life, because with this people
can do whatever they want, and will be successful. I feel that this quote and
that believe, have made the athlete I am now. Because I never gave up, I always
kept on thinking on the great things I could be doing in the future, and what
would I lose if I gave up.
