match sets toughest
The first set was one of the toughest sets I've played. It was a pretty long match for the score.
beginning bit break drink energy felt final hold serve start taking tired took tough
I was a little bit tired at the beginning of the final set, so I started to drink (an energy drink) and always when I drink it I start to feel a little bit sick, ... I took too much and felt like I was going to burp, then yuk! It's very tough to go and hold your serve after taking a break as long as that but I got back on track.
good penalty power tonight took
Tonight we took some unnecessary penalties. Our penalty kill was not good and their power play was good.
determination fall goals great scoring
Vancouver's got such a great team. To fall down two goals to them (and come back), showed a lot of determination on the part of our team. I thought we had the better scoring chances.
certainly earlier penalty rankings shot
We go by the rankings we have in practice, and he certainly was one of our better ones. He scored on a penalty shot earlier this year.
knowing tennis opponents
In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.
motivation winning thinking
I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but after my success at the Olympics and the U.S. Open I realise that winning is the biggest motivation.
stubborn
I'm definitely open to change, but at the same time I am quite stubborn.
thinking player careers
I think most players would love, at one stage in their career, to say, 'I've been No. 1 in the world.
creativity littles abundance
Where resources are plentiful (i.e. no constraints), you will find very little creativity. Where resources are scarce (i.e. many constraints), you will find an abundance of creativity.
safe made profit
It's safe to say that the value of the property had shot up considerably and in the end I made a pretty satisfying profit.
father blessing grace
A believer may pass through much affliction, and yet secure very little blessing from it all. Abiding in Christ is the secret of securing all that the Father meant the chastisement to bring us.
letting-go prayer sacrifice
Prayer is reaching out after the unseen; fasting is letting go of all that is seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the kingdom of God.
christian spiritual jesus
There is need of a great revival of spiritual life, of truly fervent devotion to our Lord Jesus, of entire consecration to His service. It is only in a church in which this spirit of revival has at least begun, that there is any hope of radical change in the relation of the majority of our Christian people to mission work.
