i want motivation like that

michael phelps...pure inspiration. if i had his motivation and determination, i can't imagine where my life would be. i have no idea why, but i got into the olympic swimming competitions. i loved watching them. and no, it's not the half naked guys with really ripped bodies. i promise. guys, girls, any race, it didn't matter...if it was on, i was watching. but i was thinking about michael phelps tonight. if i had trained and worked so hard, and had competed and won race after race, would i be able to give up my spot for the last race? i really would like to think that it'd be an easy thing to do. but it wouldn't. i look at that act of amazing humility and think "WOW! i want to be like that." like it was no big thing for him. pure inspiration. i want to be like mike!
