As Stinger taught Maverick in Top Gun, you shouldn’t let your ego write checks that your body can’t cash. 

I hate being rung by telephone particularly unarranged since it demands temporal synchrocity without even letting me know the reason for the call before I answer.

Sean: I thought about what you said to me the other day, about my painting.

Will: Yeah?

Sean: Stayed up half the night thinking about it. Something occurred to me...I fell into a deep peaceful sleep, and haven't thought about you since. Do you know what occurred to me?

Will: No.

Sean: You're just a kid, you don't have the faintest idea what you're talkin' about.

Will: Why thank you.

Sean: It's all right. You've never been out of Boston.

Will: Nope.

Sean: So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable— known someone that could level you with her eyes. Feeling like God put an angel on Earth just for you. That could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it’s like to be her angel. To have that love for her, be there for forever. Through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in a hospital room for two months holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes that the term 'visiting hours' don't apply to you. You don’t know about real loss, because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. I look at you— I don't see an intelligent, confident man. I see a cocky, scared-shitless kid. But you're a genius Will, no one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me, because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my fuckin' life apart. You're an orphan right?"

[Will nods]

Sean: You think I know the first thing about how hard your life's been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally... I don't give a shit about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you, I can't read in some fuckin' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that do you sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief.

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Ani třetí - košický pokus v této disciplíně nesplnil moje očekávání. Přes tvrdošíjné letní snažení jsem se nezlepšil. Oč později jsem doběhl, o to víc času mi při závodě zbylo na to, abych si uvědomil, že maraton zrcadlí, jak žijeme.

Ve zkratce dokáže plasticky zachytit to, co se jinak - rozprostřeno do řady let – neurčitě rozmělní. Zobrazí vážnost i trapnost, přirozenost a křeč, radost z úspěchu i lítost nad prohrou, a to vše v realistické scenérii řeky okolních těl – jsou k pohybu puzena svou vlastní, na okolí nezávislou vnitřní silou a na trati přehrávají příběhy odlišné i stejné zároveň.

Konečně se oklikou dostávám k rouhavému přiznání. Když se mi nedaří, vytýkám běhu, že si přivlastnil tolik z mého času, že ukrojil mocně z ranního spánku, zaměstnal mě po večerech a bezohledně se rozprostřel po víkendech. Připisuji mu výkyvy nálad, když pro zranění jím způsobená neběhám. Viním ho z vlastní únavy i z únavy, jež jímá mé okolí, kdykoliv otevřu běžecké téma.

Především ho však činím zodpovědným z toho, že je definitivně pryč mé celoživotní přesvědčení, že běh je pouhou lacinou náhražkou života. Jen škoda, že jsem o tuto jistotu nepřišel už dávno. Mohl jsem dnes být díky univerzální platnosti Milošovy nerovnice o hodně dál.

It's a good thing to turn your mind upside down now and then, like an hour-glass, to let the particles run the other way.

Pre mnohych zrejme neuvediem nic nove spomenutim, ze jednou z vyraznych crt a charakteristik cloveka je, ze je cielavedomym tvorom. To znamena, ze ma predstavivost a potom aj predstavu o predpokladanom a zelanom vysledku svojej cinnosti. Okrem toho ma aj predstavu a plan i strategiu, ako , akym sposobom dosiahnut dany ciel alebo ciele. Inymi slovami sa tiez hovori, ze clovek, a to minimalne za seba a svoju rodinu, ma viziu, cize predstavu o svojom relativne dlhodobejsie chapanom zivote na 30 - 50 rokov. Tuto si potom "pretavuje" do  konkretizovanejsej  a pripadne aj casovo ramcovej dlhodobejsej prognozy (napriklad na 15 - 20 rokov) ci strednodobej prognozy na 5 - 10 rokov. V nadvaznosti nato potom uz nasleduje kratkodoby i strednodoby plan na dosiahnutie vytycenych cielov. Sucasne vsak pokracuju predstavy o podmienkach umoznujucich splnenie tuzob, o cestach a prostriedkoch ich dosahovania. Sucastou cielavedomych uvah ludi vsak ma byt aj problematika moznych rizika prekazok na naplnanie vytycenych cielov. Na to je vhodnym nastrojom na vyformovanie si takzvanej varovnej vizie, prognozy ci scenara. Aby clovek bol pripraveny aj na nepriazen osudu a mozne sklamania. To aj na zachovanie si chladnej hlavy a neutekanie sa pred zodpovednostou k cinom zo zufalstva (uteky z rodin, alkohol, drogy, samovrazda a pod.)

Neexistuje nieco ako nemam cas. Existuje iba: nie je to pre mna dostatocne dolezite, aby som si na to nasiel cas, t.j. nieco ine je dolezitejsie. 

Cas je konstantna velicina: je ho stale rovnako, ale da sa lepsie vyuzit.

Veci preba robit intenzivnejsie, efektivnejsie: vediet sa plne kontcentrovat, konat na 100%.
Vediet sa koncentrovat: nenatahovat cas, ale zvysovat produktivitu.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.
