Greatest Olympian ever
That title will never have my name after it. I think when you hit your 30's it becomes somewhat official that you will never be a great athlete. I started thinking. Although I wouldn't become a great olympian...ever, I wondered what event I could excell at if I had actually put some effort into it at an early age. The answer: nothing. I could work out day and night and focus solely on one particular sport my entire life and I don't even think I could get past nationals. I mean at anything. This includes ping pong, archery, javelin and hell, might as well throw it out there... curling. I am now inclined to think that my inability to motivate myself to compete in any sport at any early is knowing that I would never be able to take it to the highest levels of sport competition. Knowing this fact has made me feel much better about doing nothing at all. I think that too many people underestimate to power of nothing. It should be revered as the single greatest thing anybody can do. Winning tons of gold medals is great... if you care about that sort of thing. Me, I like sitting around and watching people sweep brooms on the ice in order to get a large rock as close to the bulls-eye as possible.
