"I think I'm looking for a big vision, a big dream, a big goal, a big idea." Any particular reason why big? I ask because I'm asking myself the same question these days.

They are great in battle, as we see in the Olympic competition- I'd want them on my side in business. No doubt about it. They have unique personality characteristics which may or may make them a valuable employee or spokesperson for a corporation. They know all about the hard work and what it takes to be successful. Whether or not they will go on in life to be passionate later in their lives remains to be seen. Ego, I believe plays a big role in what they achieve or pursue. Either way these human beings are elite! These athletes have a ‘warrior’ mentality. They are great in battle, as we see in the Olympic competition- I’d want them on my side in business.

Is the one who crosses the finish line a fraction of a second before the others a better athlete? It seems to me more like a triumph of electronic timing devices that allow us to detect such tiny differences. They are all great athletes, for which I honor them.

We each have different goals, inspirations and abilities. What works for Shaun White, doesnt work me either, but it is motivating to me on some level to maybe get off the couch and at least exercise more. What do I want to do? Spread happiness in what ever endeavor I am involved with. That is what makes us all unique. We each have different goals, inspirations and abilities.

The nature of each game, the 162-game length of the season, the need to cope with losing many, many times and finding a way to succeed anyway, are far more to your inclination--and mine. Of course, the baseball teams in your town don't act that way..... Ruth Ann, you have convincingly made the case for baseball.
