G.I. GurdjieffOnly super-efforts count.
About This Quote
Super-efforts are what makes the difference, whether in sports or in life. The most important thing in life is to have the drive to do things that were previously thought impossible. Think about playing a sport when you were young. You had to work hard to get better, right? Same goes for your career, relationships, and even your own self-improvement.
All of these things require hard work. This hard work is called “super-efforts” because you are using super powers to achieve it.
