“The key to success is not in the will to win, but in the will to prepare to win.”

Phil Jackson

Simplified Meaning:

Being successful is not just about wanting to achieve something, but about working hard and getting ready for it. For instance, think about a student who dreams of getting good grades. It's not enough for them to simply wish for high marks; they need to study, do their homework, and review their lessons regularly. Similarly, a runner who wants to win a race can't just rely on their desire to win. They need to train every day, eat well, and practice their running techniques. Preparing sets the foundation for success, much like you need to practice and prepare any skill to become really good at it. So, to truly succeed, focus on the effort and preparation needed, not just the end goal.
