Do not tag me while replying ie do not use the left directing arrow while replying.  Instead, use the inverted coma option which will be just below the post that you are talking about. Maybe then i will be able to help you better. Plus, the things i am posting are just images circulating on TG channels. I do not read these kind of books myself. It is just that these images make sense to me and hence i post them here.

If you were referring to  the stoic philosophy thing that i posted then it is a piece from “The daily Stoic” by Ryan Holiday i believe.

The discipline of writing something down is the first step towards making it happen. In conversation, you can get away with all kinds of vagueness and nonsense, often without realizing it. But there’s something about putting your thoughts on paper that forces you to get down to specifics. That way it is harder to deceive yourself or anyone else.

Marshall:
I miss my Dad, Ted. I miss him so much. When I was a kid, we would spend the summers in the upper peninsula and every year we would only get to the cabin until the middle of the night. So, it'd be pitch black, in the middle of the woods and I could never see anything in front of the headlights. But I always felt so safe, because my Dad was driving. He was like some sort of superhero, he could just see way out into the darkness... And now he's just gone, and it's pitch black, and I can't see where I'm going. I can't see anything.

Marshall's dad:(Appears to Marshall to offer advice)
Here's a secret; I couldn't see worth a damn either buddy. I just kept driving forward, hoping for the best...Look Out! heh heh gotcha

My note of  espn article which i made after steve smith come back. Worth reading-
--------

Timeline:
1. Test first: 144,142
2. Test 2: 92, retired hurt dur to concussion
3. Test 3. Didn't play
4. Test 4: 211, 82(quick fire, given the need of an hour)
--------------
Amid all the isolation, the ridicule, the lonely batting sessions, the community service and the club games for Sutherland, that would have sounded pretty good. In fact it might have been the stuff of Smith's dreams, or the script of a movie capturing the disgrace, recovery and redemption of an elite athlete. It is a dream, or a film pitch, no longer.

Asked whether the coaches effectively drew straws for who would throw to Smith, Justin Langer had laughed.

"Yep. Yep pretty much," he said. "That's why I was out on my knees before, because he didn't have that long a net today. It's almost when he comes out, you're down on your knees going 'oh thank you, thank you' because he loves hitting balls, which means you've got to throw a lot of balls. Graeme Hick works very hard..."

The OBSESSION and COMPULSION of SMITH'S PREPARATION ran alongside his litany of superstitions and routines, all compiled over the years to ensure he feels as comfortable and normal as possible at the batting crease.
THE THING THAT DISTINGUISHES THE GREAT FROM THE VERY GOOD IS THAT HUNGER.
one trait I know about all the great players - they love the game. IT'S NO EFFORT TO GET OUT OF BED EVERY DAY, IT'S NO EFFORT TO WORK HARD, IT'S NO EFFORT TO GET INTO THE CONTEST."

Belief isnt simply a thing for fair times and bright days. What is belief - what is faith - if you don't continue in it after failure?
