Confidence was gained over a period of time
So was experience and expertise
Everything in present cannot be like it was in the past
A lot has happened since the past has happened to be a thing of past
The past and present are two different things, two different states and two different sides of the same coin
Over a period of time the past varies from present as does the present varies from past.

As time passes by things change
Over a period of time what happened in past remains a thing of past
A lot has changed in everything done before in past when compared to present.
The individual remains the same
His skills, methods, techniques, they remain the same, as they are
Originality holds it's state, position and place.

Striving to win always remains the aim
It goes on in mind since the past,
In present too
Also along in the future
Striving to win remains the aim.

Now all that remains is related to time
It’s a matter of time,
Within a period of time everything has changed

Still the mind and it's thought are active
As of now the mind is at work and work goes on
Relating to the past,
Ascertaining the future
Again at the same moment of time remaining in the present moment of time is what goes on at some point of time during the day
It’s like the work of a pendulum clock that keeps ticking throughout the day
It's the mind that is at work and work goes on.
