The individual stats, that stuff is fun, but it doesn't last. Somebody else is gonna come along and break your records. But the memories that you take are forever.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you're successful in what you do over a period of time, you'll start approaching records, but that's not what you're playing for. You're playing to challenge and be challenged.
Somebody will always break your records. It is how you live that counts.
If you break an individual record, it's because of the greatness that comes before you.
I've frowned at the idea of breaking records, the first one to do something, or do it longer, higher, more difficult.
I've been thinking about the record since I reached the fifty plateau. But you think about it and then you let it go because you can't waste many brain cells on hours thinking about it.
When you make a great record, it's around forever.
I don't know what you're going through life doing if you're not really trying to collect some really great memories.
I just to put out the best records I can and perform the best I can.
Records are the only thing that remain of an athlete, the only thing that people will remember. If I want to ensure that people don't forget me, I can only stop once I've set the bar as high as possible for anyone coming after me.
But I think it's hard for me to only put out one record a year. Because I get too antsy. But it's good I'm learning to do that, because each record counts. And you should make it count.
