LIFE EXPLAINED, PART 150

Quick, who won the Silver Medal in anything these past 2 weeks? A show of hands here? Okay, who won Gold Medals 4 years ago? Anybody? The world remembers only champions, but not forever. Enjoy your triumphs while you can, then get on with living your life, which is more of a process than an event. Some days you win a bunch of gold medals and all the lights are on you, other days you're Togo, going home with with one lousy bronze to show for your trouble. All that running, sweating, straining and leaping over hurdles doesn't mean all that much except to you and yours, and that's fine. You know you're giving it your best shot, and so do your people, so take what you can get and be happy. Such is life.
