Pele
“The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.”
I picked this quote for a couple of reasons. Pele was one of those iconic athletes known worldwide. I knew of him as a kid growing up in the US, and we had almost no knowledge of soccer, “Futebol.”
When I met my wife, who is Brazilian, I came to learn and love the sport, and I picked up his autobiography, which was quite good.
It may seem sports-driven, but it is life-driven. How many times have we had tasks that were hard, frustrating, and we wished we did not have to do them, or wanted them over? However, when you completed it, think of that feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. Sure, it applies to life in sports, training, and the ultimate pinnacle of a championship, but it means just as much in everyday life. His greatness lay in his ability to overcome all obstacles and become a three-time World Cup champion, revered around the globe.
