Drawing inspiration from the sprint King
Yes, Usain Bolt it is – who set the 100m world record in a stunning 9.58 seconds at Berlin on 16th August. Whenever I see any human being achieve what was considered impossible or that which has never been done before, I am in total awe and feel my adrenaline high.
These are the people who keep reminding me – “Yes I can”. Following the win, Bolt mentioned in his interview: “I think it will stop at 9.4 but you never know. I dont run for world records. I will just keep going”.
Watch Bolt break the 9.6 barrier in this video.
He reminds you of……well nothing – No comparisons
If you are following my blogs, a few weeks ago when Roger Federer won the Wimbledon sixth time and set a record for maximum Grand Slam titles by any male (15), he also quoted that he does not play for records.
It certainly is not a rhetoric statement of the “Greats”, rather the truth. Echoing the words of Usain bolt, we should also keep telling ourselves “Just keep going”. With the commitment and passion, things will automatically fall in place. Whenever I need a push, I watch efforts/achievements like these and it really inspires me to progress through a tough/testing moment.
