I was so passionate about the sport that I would idly hold a tennis ball and just sniff it.

This is characteristic of great writers. #3 Discipline is everything in life. It is important in the arts, business, athletics, and academics. It is especially important in spiritual matters. None of us can claim an innate spiritual advantage. #4 The word train is from the Greek word gumnos, which means naked. In traditional Greek athletic contests, the participants competed without clothing, so as not to be encumbered.
