Greatness

Greatness is a quality everyone wants to achieve and I yearn to be one. Being adequate and good is one thing but much more effort is required to achieve greatness. The reason behind this post is that I just watched Rafael Nadal clinched the Wimbledon after an outclass over Berdych. Nadal is really at the top of his game, wasn't a big fan of him before this but 2010 is definitely Nadal year. His fitness is at peaked and his skills? There's no words to describe his powerful and strong gameplay. I liked how one commentator said in the last Roland Garros that if a uprising tennis player needs motivation and drive, they don't need to go to his games, it's too expensive, his training is enough. Nadal is the most hardworking player and it's shown in the circuit, clinching the Australian Open, Roland Garros and today the Wimbledon. Rafael Nadal is definitely a symbol of greatness that I look up to.
Another form of greatness I have always looked up to is Haile Gebrselassie. Who is he? haha.. only the greatest distance runner in the world. Well, he's no more the top runner now but a couple of years ago he was the best, smashing 27 friggin world records. He's always been an inspiration to me coming from humble Ethiopia where he started running barefoot as he couldn't afford a pair of trainers to being the greatest. I ran the 21k in a crappy 2h20m. What Mr.Haile did? a mere 58m55s! That's a crazy time man, the dude basically sprinted the 21k I think. He definitely is a real form of breatness in the field of running, no question about that.That's all myfor today, it's 12.30 and I need to sleep=)

Lots of love,
