What We Can Learn From the Winter Olympics

With the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics underway, many things come to my mind. These athletes have worked their whole lives for a single moment to shine in their sport. Their attitudes, backgrounds, and personal struggles have inspired us all to achieve our dreams. I have realized there are a couple of things we can learn from these great Olympians.

1. Set Goals: By setting short and long term goals, you will less likely to be overwhelmed. By breaking your goals down, you will find they are more realistic and attainable.
2. Work Hard: No one ever said it was going to be easy to get to the top. Try to keep your focus on your goals and finish line.
3. Positive Attitude: Think like an Olympian. You can do anything if you believe in yourself.
4. Have a Support System: It always helps when you have a group of fans, friends, or family members cheering you on. You may find you enjoy the encouragement, feedback, and competition from your peers. By creating a team, you can all lean on each other for help in order to reach your goals faster.
