Here is the blog from Lee Kemp I read tonight.
"How serious are you at working to get better? We all say we want to get better...but are we working at it REALLY?
Are you taking advantage of every opportunity to get better?
Are you taking an honest assessment of where you're at right now? And more importantly are you DREAMING BIG and setting high goals?
Are you challenging yourself EVERY DAY?
Are you "jumping in the ring" (in whatever arena you're in) with the best people every day and testing yourself.
Do you let down when you get tired or have a set back?
Do you let other people "break" you? Break your spirit; your will; your desires; your goals; your plans; your drive; your expectations.....?
What I find is that most people really don't try that hard at being successful. They try a little bit and if they don't achieve immediate results, they may not quit, but they don't try as hard.
The incredible thing is that even when people experience some success (or a little success) from their efforts, I find that they still don't try that hard.
I really don't understand this because I believe that is the key here.... Here's the nugget, don't miss it.....
Get those little successes (from your effort) and stop and let yourself feel the high from it. You need to get addicted to it like a drug that you must have to live. This will drive you to want more. You will work hard at trying to get better...REALLY.
These little successes should be FRONT PAGE news in your life.
I was at the Midlands wrestling tournament this past season and after the final match of one of the champions, I saw him running behind the bleachers. He continued running until he was called to the award stand. Then after that, he continued running.
I congratulated him on his championship I asked him why he was working out right now (of course I knew the answer).
His answer is the essence of this post. Please pay attention to his answer.... He said I'M JUST TRYING TO GET BETTER!!!
This wrestler was a true sophomore, was 2nd in the NCAA's as a true freshman and recently won the Freestyle Senior Nationals beating a former world team member.
When he was interviewed after his match he again said I'M JUST TRYING TO GET BETTER!!!
This young man has the right ideal about success."
I hope you print this a post it in an area that you MUST look at. A mirror, a door, your dashboard... something or somewhere that forces you to evaluate what you are doing to become BETTER!
After that, go over to GOHIOCASTS.COM and watch some of Cael Sanderson's stuff. MONEY!!!!!!!

I, cruiser_96, stand corrected. Last Tuesday night I stated that Tasmania was not as near to Australia as it was to Africa, and in particular, South-Eastern Africa... Even after admitting that I could be thinking of Tanzania, I still doubted. I was wrong. Tasmania is just south of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - the south-eastern tip thereof.
Moreover, it's not enough to admit that I was wrong, I would like to admit that the Vinking was right; correct. You were correct, sire.
See you on Tuesday.

There was a lot of talk at Ready's Sunday open mat of going up to Groveport's room on Tuesday. I should bring three and The CVG is planning on bring a car full as well. Should be a great room. See you Tuesday.

of course alot of people are willing to show up. Unfortunately I was just informed today that we have to cancel this weeks open mat.
Please keep the fire going, i hope to see everyone there next week.
This happens every year, ussually at the begining of summer, however this year the custodians were under staffed and therefore are behind.
I would like to say that i sided with the Viking on the location of Tasmania. HBS........

I talked to Austin and he said he and Channel will be coming up to The Port today. I'm bringing Chip in my car. Should be a good group. See you at 5:00 Cruiser.

Unreal room last night. If you are between 120 and 150, prove me wrong. Come out to our Tuesday night open mat and tell me where it gets better.
Last night I watched two guys scrammble for about 40 seconds - not stop moving once - and, if memory serves me correctly, two was earned with about 5 seconds left.
Do you really think it's getting better than that!?!?! People are willing to continually come and push YOU! while pushing themselves.
Anytime The Cruiser Invitational is documented by film - still frame or otherwise - I'm a happy man!

Yet another terrific room tonight. With the start of school, I think it's easier to grab a teammate and make the trip. And I for one could not be happier. Excellent job tonight, boys!
See everybody next Tuesday! Bring a friend. Or at least a teammate. Or someone you know.

On, like Donkey Kong!!!
Side note: If Donkey Kong doesn't come out, would Mario Bros. (the original)? If Mario Bros. doesn't come out, would Nintendo have been such a success??? If no, then Super Mario doesn't come out - numbers 1, 2 AND 3 as well as N64!!!!! Which means the Play Station might not have come out which means Metal Gear would not have come out... possibly. The bottom line...
Homage to Donkey Kong and his arch nemesis!!!
