World Cup Special: 7 life lessons from 7 inspirational Cristiano Ronaldo quotes

#5 Don't just talk about what you want to do

"I have never tried to hide the fact that it is my intention to become the best." -Ronaldo

Greatness cannot be achieved overnight. It can be achieved through hard work, not by talking about it. The position that Ronaldo is in is a culmination of the efforts made by him in the past 33 years. Just like him, every individual has to work hard every day and then nobody can stop him/her from becoming great.

It is important to believe in the ability to become great and strive for it every minute. By setting powerful intentions every day, every month, every year, it is possible to go beyond one's own reach and to grow to the next level.
