Michael Phelps, Olympics 2008 swimmer - An Inspiration


Having read his story from a local newspaper i was and still am inspired.

Michael Phelps reminded me of the struggles many of us have and will go thru.. when it seems no one cares or bother to help, we have to be strong and stand tall.. yes, talent is important but if no one realise u are talented? Like the Phelps, people may think he's a goner in those early days.. just a 'hyperactive child' who cant sit still for a minute.. but later they realised he can swim! and extremely well.. ;-)

It takes a lot of hardwork too.. talent is only 1%, the rest is perspiration.. yup, he can sit still for hours to wait for his turn to swim when he cant sit still any other times.. Also, i do think that the right person to help uncover your talent and provide support will go a long long way.. in this case, his mother and few others who believe in him.

i will want to remember Michael for inspiring us all. Blessings! ;-)
