I take work ethic everyday. If what I did was easy to me, I wouldnt still be doing it. I enjoy a challenge.

I don't want to look back and have someone say "you had a lot of potential"

I sleep well at night knowing I reached the peak of my football potential, now I have to reach my lifting potential.

I agree with this. I think it is partly inherited. My family worked hard and I do as well.

Genetics are a bitch and a fact of life. Yes, I like my work ethic and my stich-to-it-edness, but I'd trade it for a little of those genes being passed around thank you.
The difference being, work ethic tends to have people stick with it, whereas those with apparent genetic advantages don't always bother with the work ethic side of things and will at some point, for the most part, fall away from the sport; so, their apparent genetic advantage then becomes their downfall...but you may still be lifting because of the work ethic.

I implement a hard core "worth ethic" because in order to remove the millions of fat cells on welfare, tax the muscles and spend the nervous system, I must withdraw from my personal debit card and spin the genetics; its depends on me.

Period.
