Are you half full or half empty?

A positive attitude is in my opinion 3/4 of a winner. Watching the Olympics there are athletes that do some amazing events that show off strength, balance, power and pure art. Watching the gymnastics yesterday, it was interesting that you could tell when an athlete dig good just by how they acted on the dismount. More interesting was when one performance was not going perfect but on the dismount the athlete acted like it was great, his score was probably better than it should have been.

During an interview with this athlete he was ask why he celebrated at the end of the event, he stated that this was one shot in front of the entire world. He was put tens of thousands of hours into this performance and was going to put his best everything into it.

He did not win the gold in this event, however within the hour he went and performed the next event winning gold.

Do you let things get you down? Are you ready to win gold on the next event?
