"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong,
President John F. Kennedy.
I think this man, is one of the best presidents we will ever have because he knew the best way to become the best is to be the best. I guess what he means is that if you want to be at the very peak, you have to be able to go there. For example, you can't start off as the world's fastest runner, you have to train to become one, and to even begin training you have to get up, off your couch and do it. It will never happen just with time alone, you have to make sure you are also trying, and even the Greeks knew that this is what it took thousand's of years ago.
