[@amblypygi6651]

@@michaelrezak1155 there will be moments in life where you feel lost (foggy), like all the things you've been doing are for nothing. But you have to keep moving forward, even if it feels like your goal is out of your reach and you've not been making any progress (when you are running uphill you don't see it). You have to endure the process, make it fun. When it's fun, it's easier to keep going and when you expect it the least you've already overcome the obstacles, you've already reached your objective (all of a sudden you are past the hill). When you reach the top of the hill everything will be clear and you will know that your efforts have paid off. This is how I interpreted it, open to hear other analysis

"We don't have captains, we don't have bosses, we have leaders, and we expect everyone to be a leader in their own capacity.." - Kipchoge What an inspiration. Kipchoge is so intelligent. You can tell he is a master at uniting very intelligent/competitive individuals to form a supergroup/superteam to cohesively work together rather than clash. This approach is incredibly useful if you want a group/team to be successful especially if they are extremely talented and competitive.
