While it is true that determination and the desire for success helps a lot when one is pursuing a set goal, there is always the need to add hard work and dedication in order to reach one's target - just as Cristiano Ronaldo is showing us this season.
At 33, the Portuguese decided to leave Real Madrid for Juventus this summer and while many expected him to start declining, he has been going from strength to strength in the Italian top flight - breaking records upon records and proving that he is still the man to beat.
