I've really been enjoying the Games of the XXX Olympiad. I think I'm going to find an opportunity to watch something more obscure, though, than what has been covered. That said, I'm still a little uncomfortable with idea of pursuing the pinnacle for its own sake that the Olympics often celebrate. No wonder the athlete's village has developed the reputation it has.
On a peripherally related note, I read a quote from an athlete this morning that I think I need to examine in the context of my own life: Talent is one step away from laziness.
I should consider whether/how this applies to me (without the dynamic of being harsh with myself).
