Michael Phelps - Think Small To Accomplish Big Things

"The greats do things when they don't always want to. And that's the separation" -Michael Phelps

[@CharlesHenry-z1u]

Absolutely my main takeaway from this clip.

[@anirudhranjan7002]

He never refers only to himself....he says "we put money in the bank,......" "we worked hard". I think when people achieve so much, they sure become humble. Nice to see how humble Phelps is.

[@Living_for_Him_Alone]

And you the wonderful quality of seeing the wonderful quality in other ❤❤🎉

[@lordchosen19]

That's cause he has split personality issues, one personality for each gold.

[@blessedbells]

I think It's less about being humble and more about team work , Olympics n all is big deal and u need people with right knowledge and best routine that can help u become the best , there's whole team that helped him.. that's why "we".

[@bhaveshdodia85]

The difference between a champion and an extremely talented under achiever is mindset maybe ..... What he said is absolutely true, pushing the limits when you have absolutely no mood to do so is what makes the difference in the end ....

[@kunalkumar3591]

yeh right

[@praveen-m3j]

[@albertolingan]

What a great speech. He doesn't need script or anything like that, it's his life experience. It's legitimate and authentic. Awesome, man. Thanks

that's what I noticed too. He is a great speaker. Is this a natural skill or what? English is not my mother tongue, and I speak 4 languages but I can't speak like him in neither languages.

Every single person you see do this is a writer + big reader. Writing makes you condense your thoughts, so you become better at articulating them like this. Every podcast that has great answers is information from their books.

Competitive swimmer means most decorated Olympic swimmer. Barack Obama is a man who lived in a big farmhouse with white paint on it.

Michael trained his mind to make the situation suitable for his victory. Hard work can outpower miracles.

He is a legend , mentally strong is really important to achieve anything

[@nnicollan]

The greats also know when to stop doing, to avoid overdoing or overexerting oneself. I think my biggest setbacks and failures have come from not being able to recognize when enough is enough, and when I need to rest. Also, pinpointing reasons for health/sleep issues is key - in my case food intolerances almost ruined my life.

[@MuhammadAliGOAT]

It should be "Dream big, then think small to achieve big things"

[@stephen_boss]

Yeah the title is a bit misleading

[@nc01sadh]

@Muhammadali_GOAT. Yes, you were spot on there...

[@simantakalita6207]

Achieving has not much to do with Dreaming. Where dream ends, the execution begins. And that results in achievement of success...

[@adrianma2758]

Nope, dreaming big is the killer of achieving big things. If you think small and just focus on improving yourself by 1% percent a day then you won't have any expectations. You won't even notice your improvements until you really think about what you've done Don't dream big, live it

[@nc01sadh]

@@adrianma2758 Dreaming big is kind of like a destination, if you are doing small things, you will lose clarity of purpose and lose focus and willpower and end up not doing small things altogether...

[@NoName-jq7tj]

When he says I believed in the process this line hit a cord with me because I am someone who lacks patience in order to achieve success. This poor characteristic of mine has held be back for years. The process is the key.

Warren buffet, Jeff bezos, Elon musk, bill gates, some of the people that said they ‘tap dance’ their way to work every day. So liking what you do is also important. And pursuing what you have a natural skill for. It’s not all just discipline and hard work.

[@jeffbigbear1766]

Modest title for an exceptional man.

[@muharremaydin8681]

Having a natural talent is a lot to do with him winning 8 golds. Every acoplished person says work hard but talent and luck is a big part of being on the top along with working hard.

[@souhaibsebbane5623]

I agree with you, but having natural talent does not trump his hard work over the years leading up to the Olympics, plus most of those swimmers competing with him also have their share of natural talent that made them reach the Olympics (otherwise they wouldn't get a chance to be there in the first place). But then as you said luck as being the right person in the right place does make a change, I believe that's why we all must strike to pick the field (sports or otherwise) that best suits our ability and talent ,,✌️.

I could have written the subtitles. I wasn't sure why he used a paradox by saying, " I'm the biggest, smallest fan." But I now realize he said Biggie Smalls.
