Do you know of a bloke called Daniel Carter, arguably the world’s best rugby player.

This from Andy Howell of The South Wales Echo in 2008 “Scrum-half [Justin] Marshall took Dan the man under his wing when he burst on the scene with Canterbury, helping him through games as he developed into the world’s best player.”

Now Daniel Carter could have just said Marshall, "what do you know, I’m a reasonable sort of a rugby player" but instead he allowed himself to learn the disciplines that helped him become better so that he could go onto become the best in the world.
