Tennis legend Roger Federer was at his wittiest and humorous best as he gave a speech at the commencement ceremony Dartmouth College. He gave some valuable life lessons which we all can take inspiration from.

“I say that as someone who has heard that word a lot. ‘Effortless.’ People would say my play was effortless. Most of the time, they meant it as a compliment… But it used to frustrate me when they would say. ‘He barely broke a sweat!’,” Roger Federer said.

“The truth is, I had to work very hard… to make it look easy. I spent years whining… swearing… throwing my racket… before I learned to keep my cool… I didn’t get where I got on pure talent alone. I got there by trying to outwork my opponents,” he added.
