“One becomes vulnerable when one stops to think about winning, losing, taking advantage, impressing or disregarding the opponent. When the mind stops, even for a single instant, the body freezes, and free, fluid movement is lost.”
“When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.”
“When you stop searching, you find. When you stop looking, you see. When you stop battling, you win. When you stop taking, you receive.”
“Freed from thoughts of winning, I instantly play better. I stop thinking, stop feeling. My shots become a half-second quicker, my decisions become the product of instinct rather than logic.”
“When asked what characteristics Nobel prize winning physicists had in common ؛ I cannot think of a single one, not even intelligence”
“There comes a point when you stop thinking of you playing the game, and you simply become a part of – and merge into – and become lost in – the game.”
