The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will. — Vince Lombardi

There is no better timing to witness the value of Vincent Lombardi’s comments than the great performance of the all-time Olympian, Michael Phelps.   What is worth looking at are the three tenets that Michael displayed in separating him from the pack – we call it the PHD of all time – where P – stands for persistence, H stands for highly intensive focus and D stands for the dream which was not only lofty & unique but also continually nurtured and tended to as Michael stated it.
