"One thing you can't beat in this world is time. I learnt that the hard way. You can't play basketball forever. You can't play football forever. You can't bodybuild forever. I mean you CAN do it, but not at a high level against younger guys who have more time and have not reached their peaks yet. There's only so much the body can do and once you're done, you can't go back in time"
- Ronnie Coleman
About this Quote
This quote by Ronnie Coleman highlights the value of time and how it affects our capabilities and restrictions.

He uses the examples of playing basketball, football, and bodybuilding to show that although one might want something, time ultimately captures up and avoids them from continuing at a high level. He also acknowledges that younger individuals have more time to improve and reach their full capacity, while those who have actually remained in the video game for a while may have a hard time to keep up. Eventually, Coleman emphasizes that time is an important and finite resource, and when it's gone, there's no going back.
