Hey Kia, do you still play?

^^

one of the greatest topics of dota 2 i've ever read !!

My Dota2 Mantra
Greatness is a matter of choice
– not a special ingame-feature for only the “special 6k-people” among us.

Believe to achieve
He who who says he can and he who says he can’t are both usually right.

Talent is overrated
It’s important to separate the perception of talent and skill. Talent is natural and skill is developed. Talent will fail you if you’re not skilled and don't become better every day by playing yourself through Solo MMRs.

Where you are doesn’t matter; it’s about where you’re going
Just because you are 2k MMR right now doesn't mean that you'll never get to 6k.

Nothing is unrealistic
Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.

Protect your dream
Don’t let others decide your fate by telling you what you can or cannot do.Setting limitations on yourself or by others is a self fulfilling prophecy if you believe them.
