Are you in need of some Motivation and Inspiration?
Have you been watching the Olympic Games?
If not, you are missing some great stuff.
Think about it, once every 4 years the best of the best in
the world of sports get together to compete.
Some of these athletes have been training for 10-15-20
years to compete in an event that could last less than
60 seconds!
Can you imagine that?
Training most of your adult life to participate in an
event that last less than 60 seconds!
Every athlete competing had to overcome many obsticles
just to get the honor and opportunity to compete in Beijing.
It’s a long road just getting to the Olympic Games and then
additional obsticles once you have arrived here.
The opening ceremony was breath taking!
The open Ceremony had 7ft.6 inch basketball player Yao Ming
from China walked in with this small 9 year old boy from China…
Talk about inspiring…
Turns out this little boy was in the earth quake a few months
ago. Most of his fellow classmates had died during the quake.
After he clawed his way out of the rubble he went back to
pull out 2 of his fellow classmates.
A reporter asked the little boy why he went back into the
rubble? And he replied, “I’m a hall monitor at my school
and that’s my job, to help and protect the other classmates.”
Wow!
Is that inspiring or what!
Now as far as the games, it has been totally thrilling.
How about that Michael Phelps???
He won his first Gold for these games on Saturday…
Then last night, (Sunday) he was in the 4 man relay…
This was one of the most exciting things I had ever seen.
Vickie and I could’nt take our eyes off the TV screen.
The announcer was saying all night that France was going to win
and that the Americans really didn’t have a chance.
Surprise!
The USA won by .02 of a second!
Whatever country you are from, we love watching excellence at
this level. These people are the best of the best.
So during the course of your week, if you need a little
inspiration, turn on the TV and watch the Olympics!
Have a Great Day,
Robby LeBlanc
