The great cricketer Virat Kohli said in an interview that he does not try for excellence in cricket. Rather he believes in a concept called 'betterment' - to become better each day than your former self.

I believe there is depth behind his words. The philosophy is simple yet profound . If you stay focussed in any field, then you would eventually become adept in that field.

By consistently doing your work better each day, you would get closer to achieving your best or excellence. Whether your field may be sports, theatre, writing, acting, dancing, photography, cooking, painting, singing, research, science, business, politics or teaching - one day you become a legend.

Healthy food is critical for runners. Each day the body breaks down during the catabolic phase of training. With the anabolic phase of recovery the body is rebuilt, repaired, and made stronger. The raw materials necessary for this revitalization come from the foods we eat. The best foods create a superior body—simply put, we are what we eat.

An athlete like Lionel Messi has a significant impact on Argentina's soft power on the global stage because he's able to use his talent and success on the soccer field to promote positive perceptions of Argentina to the rest of the world. His skills and success on the soccer field have helped to draw international attention to Argentina, which is not as well-known as some of its South American neighbours like Brazil.

Messi's accomplishments, which include numerous individual awards and titles, as well as his massive fanbase, have helped to raise the profile of Argentine soccer and the country itself on a global scale. His success has made him a household name in many countries around the world, and as a result, his image and reputation are frequently associated with Argentina.
