Steve Geddes said this in the interview with the Pacific growers. "The most important advice that I could give to anyone is to
enjoy what you are doing. If you end up finding yourself overly stressed from trying to
grow a pumpkin it is a sign that maybe another hobby is in order."
The principle of learning to enjoy the process is true about many things. If a person can learn to enjoy going to the gym every day, then that person will no doubt be more likely to succeed and see more long term positive results in there health and physique. Michael Jordan was asked by an overzealous parent "what is the most important thing for my kid to be doing in order to succeed in basketball?. Michael said "first he must develop a love for the game." Michael Jordan failed many, many times early in his career and could not seem to get over the hump. First it was the Celtics then it was the Piston's. But he kept at it year after year and after a devastating playoff series loss against the Pistons in 1990. He was back in the gym the day after the series ended working on the things he needed to. Mainly it was strength, the bulls had been bullied and beaten up and Michael and his teammates all came back the next fall covered with muscle. Before that time it was thought that hitting weights too hard would turn a silky smooth athletic basketball player into a muscle bound stiff. Things have really changed since the 80's. Players today are more athletic than ever and aren't afraid to hit the weights. Michael and the Bulls won the championship the next year in 1991 and once he knew the formula he repeated it five more times!
