Hey Quester’s, we are up early to
watch the Olympic opening ceremony, the kids are very excited. Rio puts on a
world famous carnival parade, so it should be able to put on a great opening
ceremony. Though these games are full of controversy the Olympic Games are a
uniting force where nations meet in happy circumstances. Athletes compete to achieve
their personal best for their countries and as individuals. What is your
personal best in 2016?
We often don’t give ourselves enough
credit for what we achieve, especially in Australia where the, ‘tall poppy syndrome,’
is part of our culture. We are not boasters anyone that does in quickly demoted!
In countries that have a Christian foundation it probably has more to do with
the first of the seven deadly sins (the Bible) – pride. Pride has a double
meaning, but it can be very positive. Each country has its own unique cultural
norms. In Australia we boost our
children up and as adults we are slightly less encouraging because we expect
people to toughen up and figure things out for themselves. Luckily we have
softened a bit over the years.
Your personal best (at any time)
needs some time in the sun – have pride in yourself and your achievements – this
is your reward! If you have put the work in and created something wonderful,
celebrate! It’s all right to tell people what you have done! Don’t sit back with
some marvelous accomplishment, tell someone about it! Anyone that cuts you
down is no friend at all – jealousy is a real sin! Accept that most people have
made some serious efforts to achieve what they have. We all have undulating
highs and lows, support is the answer.
Cheer for yourself, family and friends.
Cheer for all nations and all efforts at the Rio Olympic Games. Thousands of people organised this event over six years, they need a medal
too!
