Arsene Wenger - an impressive attitude














I was impressed when i read these words of Arsene Wenger
prior to the match against Manchester United (which Arsenal lost).

It is another fine example of an attributes required to achieve success, and then sustain it, in any field - whether professional or personal.

"I realise you need a kind of animal force. To motivate people you need the hunters animal instinct. You must want to win. When you're a young manager your animal instinct is strong but your knowledge is small.

With age the balance changes - the animal instinct shrinks and the wisdom becomes dominant.

Then you get to the stage when you have only wisdom. That's when you have to say goodbye.....

Life is only interesting if you have targets. You must be destroyed when you lose and happy when you win.

I personally believe winning and losing matters to you until the last day of your life."

I believe that this kind of attitude can become re-awakened in everyone: it is an instinct that many allow to be conditioned out of their being from childhood onwards. Getting in touch with yourself physically through movement and physical training is a powerful way of getting back to the instincts that drive us to success and satisfaction.

Whatever the situation you find yourself in, whatever the life you lead, Industrial Strength hopes to inspire this attitude of success.
