08-08-08: Faster, Higher, Stronger

Let me suggest you tweet this:

The Olympic motto is made up of three Latin words: "Citius, Altius, Fortius", which means "Faster, Higher, Stronger". These three words encourage the athlete to give his or her best during competition, and to view this effort as a victory in itself.

The sense of the motto is that being first is not necessarily a priority, but that giving one's best and striving for personal excellence is a worthwhile goal. It can apply equally to athletes and to each one of us.

Here are a few things to learn from the Olympians --

1. Be dedicated and passionate
2. Keep your goals in mind
3. Learn to be a team player
4. Cheaters never prosper
5. It's not done till it's done
6. Milk it while you can
7. Have a backup plan
8. Have goals after your career is over
