Don't pull yourself down and i don't like the Negative JamesL......... think of all the positives.......... ONE THING i didn't tell you was i had people (Yanks) come up to me asking me if i knew how you got off after Prejudge in all there replies i asked if they knew you, NO ONE DID.......... But..... because of your attitude on the boards everyone said the same thing hes a real nice guy!
I was told something early on when i came over here in 2004 that sticks with me to this day, you could win every show under the sun be a ass and not have no one to respect you, or be the nicest guy true to your friends and fans and be the richest guy in happiness in this sport regardless of placings.
You been to the biggest expo in Bodybuilding let it motivate you so this time next year your fan base is even bigger, you a year to double it, i wanna see you beind a booth signing your name to people who want it not for what you have achieved but who YOU are also..... that's what does it for me!
Proud you, great seeing you and Nic..... |
Thanks Flex,
You know me I am my worst critic but I'm cool, I have to look at the positives of this experience and there were SO many. It was a truly amazing place and the people were so friendly towards me.
It was a tiring trip and I have returned with 'man flu' but hey I always get it once my body relaxes!!:beer1:
It was great seeing you there at the Gaspari booth and one thing really stuck with me and thats how much time you spent with your fans, its so nice to see and as I said to you you haven't changed a bit and PLEASE never change. I have NO doubt the Flex I see today will be the one I see in 10 years from now and that's what makes you so popular.
I met this UK guy and his wife at the VIP dinner after the show and we had a great chat talking about training, diet etc. I could see he was keen to learn so I spent time with him. He then told me that he had met you at the Expo and that you were one of the only pro's to take time out and properly speak to him.
That has stuck with him and you have a fan for life in him. It means SO much to people to take a little bit out of your day and speak to them politely and positively, its a great trait to have.
I do hope everything sorts itself out with the perminant move to the US and when you are settled and want some company and a British sense of humour:crazy: give me a shout and I'll be there.
You and Shina are good friends and are fantastic representitives in your chosen sports.
Stay strong and true.:lift:
Love J&N
