Michael J Fox Quote

from "Adventures of an uncurable optimist" tv show

Bill Murray uses MJF's advice and rephrases it:

"What matter is in doing the right thing next, as opposed to doing the next thing right."

meaning is that what counts is that we choose the next available option at this moment and move on...this is more important than needing the next option to work out perfectly...focus on fun and satisfaction from the quest, not the treasure.

Fear, Confidence, and Motivation

“For each player there is a certain level of fear, confidence and motivation all the time,” believes Mouratoglou. “Fear is the enemy that confidence and motivation can fight with. All those three elements are constantly moving, and that explains why sometimes it is easier for a player to fight against his fear.

“In the exceptional case of Novak Djokovic right now – and Rafael Nadal last year – there will still be a lot of fear because his expectations rise and rise. But his level of confidence is so high that he can easily fight against it. All the players need this stress, because without it they cannot be efficient on the court.
