The hobgoblin of a little mind may be the genius of a great one.

About This Quote

To be a genius is to have a great mind. To have a small mind is to be a little genius. In other words, to have a little mind is to be somebody great. You can have a small mind and still be somebody great. The world is full of those who believe that those who have been lucky in life must have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

That they were destined for greatness from birth. We all know, however, that it takes hard work and commitment to reach your goals and excel – especially if you want to become the best at something. You may believe that you were always destined for greatness – but the truth is, you got there by working hard.

And no matter how good of a player you are, if you don’t work hard it will seem like you aren’t any good.
