Ok, first of all, @stackin inspired me to use this quote today when I read this post from him yesterday. I've been saving this one for a rainy day, or weekend as it turns out.

Hell yea @stackin, make it happen!

Alright, the quote is:

“While others were out partying, I was training.
While they were out dancing at the clubs,
I was training… and training… and training.”

If you do an average amount of work toward your goal, you will get an average amount of success from that goal.

So if your goal is to be average then partying every weekend with friends because you "deserve it after the week you've had", is perfect!

However, if you want more than average you need to put in more than average work.

You need to really grind if you want to get wild success.

This means working weekends.

This means longer hours put in.

This means staying at home while your friends are out partying.

They might think you are becoming lame but they won't think your new car or house is lame.

They won't think that the awesome places you are travelling to are lame.

They won't think your bank account is lame.

Why do you think they call it getting ahead?

Because you are ahead, you are out front.

Getting ahead takes perseverance and persistence.

You've got to push when everyone else is relaxing!

You gotta do the things they are only thinking about!

You have to do what others won't!

So if you have a dream or goal and you aren't quite getting there, start putting in that extra effort.

Start doing what others won't.

Start pushing harder when they are all resting!

Remember what Arnold had to say about it.

“While others were out partying, I was training.
While they were out dancing at the clubs,
I was training… and training… and training.”
