Quotes by Greg Rusedski
Greg Rusedski's insights on:
When you’re young, you don’t know what you don’t know, so it’s easier to get into that magical thing.
You win any which way you can. You do what you have to do to get by. That’s the way it works in any job.
You do it for the highs, when you’re totally engrossed and everything’s flowing and whatever you want, you get. It’s like magic. That’s why you play the game. That’s what it’s for. That’s why you work.
It is a big adjustment but I’ve always loved that old saying of Jack Nicklaus: ‘I retired from golf to go to work.’ That sums it up for me.
