PAY THE PRICE TO GET THE PRIZE AT ALL COST.. I would be starting today's topic from the root.what is a "PRICE" and what is a "PRIZE"???? A price is the cost,value,worth of obtaining a benefit or achieving a goal(success).I would likewisely be saying the price paid intimes of success is the cost,value,pains gone through,determination,dedication,extra hard work we put into anything to achieve an eventual success. On the other hand a PRIZE is something that is given to a person for winning a competition or for doing some good work or i would better say a prise is something valued greatly.I would further be saying that the prize in the area of success is the things you would like to achieve or to get after paying the hard price.To get a NOBEL PRICE it requires great hardwork.often times,the winners are people who have not completed their work toward peace,but who are at a critical juncture in their work There is a biking hill known as "CINCINNATI"it is known for its hills.You can't run,bike,hike or even walk very far in this city without encounting multiple inclines,some of which are steep!This makes marathon racing inthere so notorious! When running a race to get the prize,we must know that there would be so many hills we would be seeing along the line so we should be prepared for that too. WHAT ARE THE PRICES TO PAY TO GET THE PRIZE 1. DELAYED GRATIFICATION:The ability to put off a satisfaction in a short term in order to enjoy greater reward in the future.what are these things a. Wanting the best things of life. b. Putting our wants before our needs.etc c.spending wrecklessly on unworthwhile things etc 2. LONG TERM THINKING:Willing to be successful people would go into the future then come back to the present and determine the things they have to do or not to do to achieve their desired future.The most important word in long term thinking is SACRIFICE and that is willing to give up so much to achieve our goal. 3. BE FOCUSED WHILE RUNNING THE RACE: Henry Ford said,"obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.Day in and day out we must find that motivation that is the price you must pay to become a great athlete that would eventually win the prize is to rise early,be ready to lose weight,be ready to complete a Triathlon,become a vegetarian etc.Then your eyes is fixed already on the price..
