Well, now that the Winter Olympics are over, life is returning back to normal. I had a lot of fun watching as many of the events as possible over the past two weeks, but the games were definitely taking up a lot of my time. I'm not the kind of person who usually is into sports, but there's something about the Olympics - winter or summer - that gets me excited.
For one thing, I really love the spirit of the Olympics - the whole idea of nations coming together, sending the best athletes in their sport, and having these men and women compete in tests of strength, endurance, and artistry. It's a wonderful celebration of energy and power.
Even more so, I love that, while there is a gold medalist, there's also a silver and a bronze. In that way, there's not a single winner and a single LOSER, but a range of excellence. These people are, even coming into the games, the best of the best.
Though I'm not an athlete, I think there's a lot to learn from Olympians. Look at their perseverance! They battle through pain, through bad conditions, they face the most incredible challenges, and their dedication wins out in the end.
If you watched the Olympics, what did YOU learn? What was your favorite part? Share in the comments!
Cheers :)
