Olympics

Some people seem to think that the Olympics are all about winning gold, silver, and bronze. But you know what? They aren't all about medals. They are about Canadian Pride. They are about the excitement, the thrill, the feeling, and the opportunities to live up to a family name. Who cares if Canada doesn't get the medals that we hoped for? As long as our athletes have fun doing the sport that they love. If you don't agree with me then think of it this way. The entire planet got together just to scream at each other, to boo, and glare when another country wins the gold. I mean think about it, where does it say that we will win all of the gold medals? It doesn't. It never will. One country will never win every single medal. It is like an old saying that my teachers sometimes use, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch". It is the same with medals. Yet even though we know it won't happen. we cannot let go of the hope. We all cling to it. We all put pressure on our athletes. But they have proven that they are some of the top athletes in their sports. In my mind they have already won, even if they don't bring home the gold.

Who Would You Choose?

Some people run their lives as if they think that going far in their field and doing well money-wise, means that they will get a second life as a vacation. other people live their lives to the fullest, after all they don't know what lies ahead of them or where life will take them. Who do you want to be? The rich person with no friends or close family relatives. The person who lives for their job and hasn't had a day off in years, and won't in the years to come. Or the person who loves all their friends and family, and that is who their life revolves around. They go to work late sometimes, they get in trouble at school, but all the time, in the face of their superiors they are responsible and sorry, but the entire time they are waiting to escape and go laugh with their friends. I can only speak for me but i believe that both people have at least one thing that everyone wants from life. The Work-a-holic obviously loves their job and will probably never regret choosing the job that they did. The other person has friends and family that they love and love them, but they can't hold a job, they never got into the field that they wanted because of their pranks and laughing and in short having fun. Yet everyone wants to be that person, everyone wants to fit in, everyone wants friends, and everyone has the inignorable need to be loved and cared for. but think about it for just one minute. This person can't make it in the business world, they never will. but the other person put their job first and who is to say that that person can never make friends? That they never will be able to?
