“The Present is the key to the past”
“While the end goal lies, kilometers, days, weeks, years away, it is today that counts. It is what you do today, right now, this moment, on this day that you will look back on with pride, from which you will derive immediate joy and in the end satisfaction, regardless of how it turns out.”
Pete Vordenberg (US National Cross Country Skiing Coach)
