The sporting world is chock full of inspirational stories. Like how Floyd Landis raced one of the best races ever at Tour de France to be crowned the 2006 champion, only to has it stripped due to drug use or how Justin Gatlin defied biological constraints to clock 9.77s in the 100m sprint and share the world record with Asafa Powell. and subsequently got the record chalked off due to usage of dope Truly inspirational.
However it is not often that you hear inspirational quotes from the sporting world. To date i can only think of a few, with the following from legendary Green Bay Packers' coach Vince Lombardi as my favourite:
"The darkest moments of our lives are not to be buried and forgotten, rather they are a memory to be called upon for inspiration to remind us of the unrelenting human spirit and our capacity to overcome the intolerable."
So people, don't let your blood and tears shed in vain. Whenever you are going through a rough patch, think of how you overcame those dark times, persevere and things will be fine soon. ;)
(PS: If you find this quote familiar, you might have seen it on this blog before, on this entry made way back in 2004.)
Random Statistic of the Day
As of 1120 on 7th of September, I weigh 105.54 kg as measured by the weighing scale at the communal gym. The optimist in me say that I'm 6.54kg away from hitting 2 digits, while the naysayers would argue that i'm 4.46kg away from 110kg. Only time will time where my weight will sway towards.
