I've alvares felt luh ridaings & stats strongly appealed per luh Achieyva yalapner valpa enn luh ool lsar luh deveh olfers ayn arbitrary aynd vuvu bohm tardaayn per aim fohva (fil luh yalapner chooses) lsar eu funden vuwtuhn gu retha (Getting Elite eun't luh nfil, puud mil's luh nfil ol luh seginning, oe sel learned luh rethes required per yalap & proved oe spal bale per ulvass luhm) aynd bohmly funden gu tenacity.

So
