Expert in the Rough, Brian Monahan

Richard Terpening a faithful fan of Expert in the Rough has shared a recipe for the Holidays.

The recipe of a successful person:

Talent- a person is born with an ability to do well without practice. “Thank your ancestors for this.”

Privilege- a special advantage available to a person that is shared by few.

Opportunity- a situation available to a person to improve his/her skills toward success.

Ambition- the desire to work hard for success.

Practice- you heard the saying, “practice makes perfect.” It just might take ten thousand hours to get there.

It only takes one of these ingredients to achieve success. We do live in the land of opportunity, but we often do not take advantage of it.

- Richard Terpening

Richard is the author of “Literature of a Liberated Runner”

Description:

What do you think about while you’re running? Literature of a Liberated Runner is the Literature of my Long runs. When I am out running I am free from distress. I have a clear mind that explores concepts that I am never consciously aware of. I become a child, a poet, a soldier, a saint, and I find myself in different adventures and with new ideas. I also have the ability to think clearly about issues that need to be resolved. This is a book of essays, poems, and short stories that I created during my long runs.
