Col.
The power of the message is to see how many lives you have touched
and
improved through your coaching.
To this day I still think of workouts that I did with you back in
'89,'90,'91, and how they shaped me as an athlete and coach.
Hope you are still showing the people how high the bar is.
If they want to be reach their potential.
All the Best,
Tim
This is a media quote from another of my
athlete's
Iron-woman! Dr.
Fiona Lim. from Malaysia. Who in 2007said
about
Col STEWART
Specialist Triathlon Coach, Mentor
& Motivator
Quote:
It was something Col wrote and has said many time
since
that prompted me to seek his advise on training and racing.

Fiona said:
Even though I was not an elite
athlete as such,
I have always strived for self-improvement. Col has helped me to
understand the values of rest, as well as hard work.
He has shared with me his philosophies of life And has taught me
that. Who ever I may be, Wherever I may be. If I am
totally committed to my passions. And if I have self-belief,
I can achieve my goals!

Think about
this!
Remember, amateurs built Noah's Ark;
Whereas, The Titanic was built by
professionals.
Most people walk in and out of your life;
However, FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart.



So! Do not worry about the people from your past,
As there's always a very good reason
why they didn't make it into your future.



Nothing will stop you from
achieving your goals.
If you develop the right attitude!
Always persist with taking
the next step forward.
If that does not work; then take another and another
Until you reach your goals!
Only then, can you set higher goals to reach and attain
Defeat! For me is not an
options
Nor is my
life a one off affair!
therefore I will not allow it to
reach a stand still.
Look
in your the mirror,
If you do not
like what you see
Then how can you expect anybody else to like you?

Whereas, I do not know the key to total success,
The key to failure is surely trying to please everybody!

Please grant
me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I cannot accept,
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had
to
kill today, just because they pissed me off!
LEARN,
COMMITMENT, FOCUS, AND SELF-CONTROL!
BECAUSE CHAMPIONS ARE ACHIEVER!
NEVER
FOLLOWER!
Some
people love a drama. others love a crisis. Me! I just love
the feeling of satisfaction I get
from knowing the right things are happening. That it is
being done in the right way. At the right time.
But! Above all for the right reasons!
From the greatest ever Japanese Samurai Warrior
Miyamoto Musashi.
-
Always study
the enemy
-
Avoid predictable attacks
-
Do not be negligent, even in trifling
matters
-
The way is in the training
-
Deal with perception, not sight
-
Do not engage in useless activity
-
Know the ways of many weapons
-
Plan logically,
-
attack emotionally
-
Do not intend to wound – But! to kill
These extracts were
taken from “The book of the rings”.
Practice the
art of winning!
Spar with the competition while
learning their weaknesses
Know when and where they are most likely to attack.
One is strong if he can make the
competition react to him and his every move
However, one is weak if he must react to the competition!
Develop your own personal flawless
strategy.
Make sure it is 'formless', and above all 'invisible' to your
competitors,
A 'formless strategy' cannot be discovered!
Your competition cannot defeat an 'invisible strategy!
Defeat the competition by controlling
the situation,
Then your competitors will be left to wonder.
How you were able to control the situation.
Always make your results obvious
While your methods remain hidden.
Each conflict represents a unique situation.
Therefore, your strategies should flow like water.
However, be wily and do not repeat successful strategies
The winner is the one who moulds his victories
by adapting his plans and recourses
to
the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents
He is, the genius. – And! Will become the winner!

LOOKING AT LIFE THROUGH MY EYES
Look at
life as a beautiful rich thought
one woven from many rich and wonderful colours.
If you do
not like the way, your world is,
Then change it.
However, do it one-step at a time.
To want is
to select a goal
The key is your action and performance.
Do what you have to do, to be the best.
If you
stumble or fall, rise and stand ten feet tall,
After all, it is you who determines the course you travel.
If you
believe you can be a winner, you can win,
If you dare to step up,
Only then, do you give yourself, every chance to succeed
Use strong
thoughts to replace doubt.
Think words of courage; so you won't fail!
Col Stewart
THE
WINNER!
Is the one who moulds his victories,
by adapting his plans and recourses to the
strengths and weaknesses of his opponents.
He is, the genius.
And! he will no doubt be,
A winner!
Life!
To make your ways through this life and survive
One must seek the meaning of life itself.
As life is a time of learning; we must all set achievable goals,
Then we must tactfully, impart on to others, that knowledge, already
learned!
Ultimately, we must learn to take responsibility
Seek answers, and reasons, why.
Not medications, talk, and so called friendly advice
The right cure is in accepting responsibility, for one’s thoughts,
actions, and conduct.
Not to burden others with ‘your life’s’ self-imposed over
exaggerated problems!
In order to progress above oneself
We must continue to set higher challenges and goals.
Learn to fulfil the daily tasks life has set for us!.
And learn to accept, and enjoy the challenge of finding ~
life’s meaning.
As Col Say's
