I am motivated by excellence: Leander Paes

The 41-year-old tennis legend explained how he keeps himself motivated to come on to the courts everyday and produce magnificent results. "I am motivated by excellence. And motivated by to be being the best every day and every department of my life as a son, patriot, and athlete and as a father. What drives me is that I find every day that I can get better. Even when I am going to be 42 in six months time, I want to keep improving. I want to be the best every day and in every department," Paes said

The winner of 12 Grand Slam titles said there will be always be difficult circumstances in life but the key was to focus on the bright side.

"The obstacles are out of your control but what you can really control is the way you react to it. The way you deal with it. What is the use of getting angry…feeling depressed, it does not solve anything. At the end of the day my racquet does the talking. There is no reason to get down.
