Proverbs 21:5

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity,but hasty shortcuts lead to
poverty.

With all of the buzz in the sporting news about steroids, this proverb seems to be especially pertinent. I see steroids as a hasty shortcut that may win you a few games, but in the long run, it will seriously hurt you. Many athletes have been successful without the use of performance enhancing drugs. They did it by working hard and being mentally tough.
