Best training, if not best life advice, I've ever heard

"Finally, if I've learned one thing in the last 18 years that I'd say is of the utmost importance to impart upon other people, it's that you should give no fcking thought whatsoever to what other people are doing, and even less thought to what they think you're doing. Without question, that sounds pompous and solipsistic, but it's fcking true. People, by and large, go out of their fcking way to suck, and try hard to make you suck with them. They'll fight you tooth and nail on the latter, as they resent the *kitten* out of the fact that you excel, as it sets the bar that much higher and reminds them of their myriad inadequacies. Thus, insofar as lifting goes, ignore everyone around you and do what you want. It's a certainty that if they object it's out of fear or jealousy or a combination thereof, and it's even more likely that they've got no fcking clue what they're doing anyway. In short - fck everyone. Fight hard, fck hard, study hard, play hard, lift hard and generally be hard. Enjoy yourself, and be awesome. Everything else is bullsh!t." - Chaos & Pain, chaosandpain.blogspot.com/

This is one of my morning reads every morning along with a few other quotes. It may sound extreme, but if you can take away even just a little bit of this attitude and apply it to training and life it works wonders.
