Olympics

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).
