"Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you." - William James(1842-1910, Author).
I got up early in the morning to see history being made. A wonderful athelte dared to dream big and what a great dream. Oh! Such a wonderful dream.8 Golds in a single olympics!!! In the bargain, the dream became not only his, but ours too. We need someone to prod our imagination to kindle interest in us.
He announced his intentions at the start of the games and went on to win each event he participated one by one systemmatically. In the bargain, he created 7 World Records and 1 Olympic Record. What a swimmer!!
Great athletes and leader come good when it matters. At the end of second leg in the final race of 4x100 medley, the US team was trailing. In jumped Michael Phelps, and his powerful butterfly converted the deficit to a huge lead for the anchor freestyle swimmer. The rest, as they say, is history. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
We are fortunate to have lived and seen the greatest olympic performance in our life time.
Dreams do come true!!!
Michael Phelps - We salute you!!!
