The Olympics remain the most compelling search for excellence that exists in sport, and maybe in life itself.

An atheist is someone who is certain that God does not exist, someone who has compelling evidence against the existence of God. I know of no such compelling evidence. Because God can be relegated to remote times and places and to ultimate causes, we would have to know a great deal more about the universe than we do now to be sure that no such God exists. To be certain of the existence of God and to be certain of the nonexistence of God seem to me to be the confident extremes in a subject so riddled with doubt and uncertainty as to inspire very little confidence indeed.

The Olympics are coming... and it's a big problem in American politics, because the problem with holding the Olympics this fall is that we're all going to be focused on the Olympics, and it makes that window of opportunity for Gore to win the election that much smaller.

Consistent Excellence
Go...
Ask anyone of your neighbors,
How difficult it is...
To produce consistent excellence.
With a doing done you do,
To ensure your life...
Is lived to make sense.
With the best from yourself,
To show those your excellence...
Is not some luck that has been sent.
Your excellence is what is meant.
Go...
Ask anyone of your neighbors,
And when you are done...
Ask your friends and family too,
If consistent excellence with a bit of sweat...
Is something done you know they do,
For themselves.
And nothing from them to you to prove.

I have to consider my greatest accomplishments winning the Olympics because everything that I've done after that is really because of the Olympics.

I Search
I search for that something called an Identity
I search for the eternally dynamic being called 'me'
I search for that ever-elusive ray of Hope
That'll steady my walk on life's tightrope
I search for that stroke of Brilliance
That'll make me stand out among millions
I search for that much-needed Common Sense
That'll help me to decipher utter nonsense
I search for that slippery thing called Fame
That'll erase all my past memories of shame
I search for that quality called Tenacity
That'll help me cope with life's complexity
I search for that something called a Carefree Life
That'll remove me from worries and Danger's knife
I search for something called an Identity
And I still search for that being called 'me'

The Olympics and Life
The Olympics is a reflection of life
as it has it's winners and losers
one minute your on a high
the next you can get knocked down.
If you want to achieve your dream
it will come through hard work
as the more you put in to it
the greater the rewards will be.
Sometimes you get just one chance
a Golden opportunity to succeed
but if your not ready it can slip away
someone else can take it from your grasp.
In Sport nothing is handed on a plate
lots of blood, sweat, and tears, along the way,
and in life it can be just the same
but you just have to keep on going.
But some people get tired and give up
when victory can be just around the corner
it don't matter how many times you fall down
just as long as you always get back up.
So life is a Marathon and not a sprint
with many hurdles and obstacles to get over
but if you keep going at a steady pace
you'll get to the finishing line in the end!

Truly Incomplete
Search for you I do
I know you are present, however you refuse
Deny, you do love
Love of mine seems to have left no impression on you
My feelings only hold you as my love
Even though you clearly expressed that our past needs to be erased.
You are so wrong
Misunderstood you have me and my love
Now it feels that as if it was so easy for you to forget me?
Suddenly, my love has forgotten me
How can she do that to me?
I gave her my all
Everything I gave completely
However, at the end I still remain incomplete
Truly incomplete, I do remain
Seems as if life is hell
World has died, search I do for you.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
A compelling story, even if factually inaccurate, can be more emotionally compelling than a dry recitation of the truth.

The Frantic Search
The Eternal Search
The Search Is On! The Search Is On!
Searching For The World Free From Fear
Searching For People Free From Greed
Searching For The God Who Went Missing
World Looks Small So Are The Minds
Person To Person No Rapport Exists
Suspecting Each Other Even In Sleep
Caring For Others No More A Desire
Craving For Comforts Order Of The Day
Ruthless Shortcuts In Clearing The way
Money And Status Passion For The Masses
Posh And Prestige Symbol For Power
Goons Are The Rulers! Gone Are The Morals
Twisting The Laws To Fill Their Coffers
Suppressing Voice Of Those Remain Sincere
Poisoning The Minds By Fuelling Hatred
Nature Losing Tranquility Causing Season's Hostility
Global Warming On The Rise Sounding Death Bells Causing Fear
Human Dwellings Spreading Fast By Felling Forests With No Foresight
Water Sources Drying Fast As Lakes And Rivers Remain Things Of Past
Warning Bells Are Unheeded Despite Impacts Highlighted
Damage Controls Not In Sight As Vested People Seal Them Tight
Paper Tigers On The Prowl But Actions Remain Always Nil
In Quest Of Ruling One Another Plans Are Drawn For Hell Together
The Search Is On! The Search Is On!
Searching For The World With Protected Nature
Searching For The World Without Race For Arms
Searching For The World Where Each one Gets Alms
Searching For The World Where Barriers Are Surpassed
Searching For The World Where Boundaries Are Withdrawn
Searching For The World Where People Are Free From Lust & Greed
Searching For The World Where God Is Seen In Every Human

The Sport I Love
Like any other sports
this is the one I choose,
I love, and I have been playing.
the sport I want to be belong.
That is soccer.! ! !
Playing this game
have been giving me an event
that is hard to forget.
It is exciting right! ! !
And therefore
I do not know how
could I leave this sport.
Of which is this sport
help me to build my stamina,
meet a lot of friends, and
also this sport taught me
how to act as a human being,
in order to have a discipline
not only in this sport
but also in the community
as well as in a situation.
It help a lot in me right! ? ,
therefore i must not have to forget
as well as to leave this sport
but to love this sport forever..
I love soccer.! .

The secret of living a life of excellence is merely a matter of thinking thoughts of excellence. Really, it's a matter of programming our minds with the kind of information that will set us free.

my friends at PH
we must be hope
and excellence
we are both
compassion
and valor
easily we can get badness
in quantity
the road is wide and smooth
and popular
lying close by
in our houses
in front of excellence
the gods have put
sweat, and a long
and narrow road
steep and
obstructed
we shall be the yardsticks
of quality
we now get used
to this environment where
excellence and
refinement are at
most expected.
