As a sports lover, I was overwhelmed by these two people. Every Olympics brings in new people, new set of stars, new techniques of mastering sports, but these two just remain in their positions. Of course Phelps having admitted as this being his last one saddened me immensely. But then, who can forget him - The person with the most number of medals in the history of Olympics! Whuff!!!! These people are called true champions. They are just relentless.
In Beijing, Phelps took everything in swimming. At that time, the great Ian Thorpe was competing against him too. I was in college doing my engineering those days. Beijing Olympics was of no interest to me besides my country's athletes and these two. Phelps, I saw before, but Usain Bolt, never (although he might be a star by then). His burst into Olympic books made me a crazy fan (The youth love it).
Since then Bolt has broken almost every available record to be broken. His stint in the 100 and 200m sprints generate so much adrenaline that you just cannot keep away from the television. I have to admit, i forgot internet marketing for a while.
Their stories tell us great things about perseverance. Phelps persevered since his school days. Bolt as well ran since childhood. That tells one thing - It takes years of practice to be the best in the world. They were doing it since childhood, so we didn't notice. I had did everything but never showed this kind of dedication to make it big in anything. I get it now! Now, is the time. I have started and continuing in my quest to be a good entrepreneur. Let us take the positives from their brilliance and make ourselves big in this lifetime.
I would like to finish this off with the title of Lance Armstrong's book "Every second Counts"!
