"Nothing's ever been handed. You don't just show up and start and then win a Super Bowl. The challenge of trying to get there is the greatness. The greatness is having to compete your butt off and consistently do everything in your power to figure out how. It should be hard. If it was too easy, everyone would do it." - Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys quarterback
Romo was criticized by his coach Bill Parcells for his sidearm delivery. He heard about it through an assistant coach. This after he'd completed nearly 2/3 of his passes one year in college. But he didn't get defensive. He just asked the assistant, "Do you know how to get my release higher? I want to do it now."
"Now" is the best possible time to start working and improving. "Never" is the best time to complain, for a person who's truly great.
