This was, of course, hoping to scare them off, or at least take some of their passion to fight away, giving the Mauri an advantage. Of all the descriptions above regarding fierce, the one the stands out is passion. Passion for something causes all the other actions to happen. Passion comes from the heart, not the head. If one has developed a passion for something, nothing stands in your way, nor can you be dissuaded from your goals, even with setbacks. Curiously, rowing, even non-competitive rowing, brings about a passion in many of those who try it. It starts with a spark of belief that this rowing thing looks cool and I think I can do it. Just ask a parent whose youngster is learning to row in a junior program. Their comments carry a common thread, that they have never seen nor suspected that their child embrace something as demanding as the sport of rowing. Same with the late-bloomers. They nearly all wish they had found this sport earlier in their lives. They all developed passion,the next step after belief, that takes them towards their perception of success. Passion for rowing will bring about a desire to learn it, perfect it, make it more efficient and as a result increase speed. No passion? No sport for long. By the way, what is a gravatar?

I rate it 5 stars but I didn't figure out how to rate it. Actor and motivational speaker Will Smith encourages people to be intense in their pursuit of goals. To drive home how serious: he says if you challenge him to a treadmill run, either he is finishing first or he is going to die on the treadmill! (It sounds better when Will says it. . .)
