Winston ChurchillFor different roles, my condition and training and diet does alter. Depending on the role, it will really dictate the type of training I do.

Brian EnoLife isn’t meant to be easy. It’s hard to take being on the top – or on the bottom. I guess I’m something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things… Life is one crisis after another.
Richard M. Nixon
