Olympic tears

I saw an athlete banging on the field crying on TV. She just got disqualified because she felt down and rolled a few times during the race. The world watches her helplessly cry. No one kicked her. There is nobody to blame.

Nope, the other 7 athletes won't stop and hug her like Barney would. The clock isn't stopping.

Years and years of training for that moment... and that ended up in frustration.

She is already among the world's top athlete. Something she should be very very proud of. She probably had not drink a coke or had a pizza for years while most people in the world doing just that watching her on TV. And the world just briefly go aawww and go back to their lives.

I hope that athlete is not too hard on herself. Don't be afraid to go out. I assure you no one remembers nor dare say anything. And let me tell you this: few in the world can ever achieve your status of going to the Olympics. Be very proud.

Life can be full of frustration... ah, I was a tad late for that train this morning. That Miss Right/Mr. Right decide to go with a lesser being... I should have got an A but got a A-... That frustration list is endless. The only way to deal with it is let it go.

That national anthem... that applause...are actually short-lived. How many people can name some gold medalists? Unless you have huge $ from endorsing certain products, even the fame of winning a gold is short-lived.

What's life for athletes after the olympics?
