Kobe Bryant said, "Do you know what Los Angeles looks like at four o'clock in the morning?"
Everybody knows that athletic sports require talent.
But in fact, talent is just the threshold. Every player who can enter the Professional League is a genius. Don't think they seem like rookies on the professional field; actually, without exception, they are all geniuses—major geniuses, minor geniuses, once-in-a-decade geniuses, once-in-a-century geniuses.
A bunch of freaks.
If you want to stand out, hard work and struggle are the only ways.
Success is made of ninety-nine percent perspiration plus one percent inspiration. Usually, the one percent of inspiration is the most important; however, the threshold of the profession has already filtered out that one percent of inspiration, leaving the remainder to depend on the ninety-nine percent of perspiration, depending on who knows what Los Angeles looks like early in the morning.
