I remember watching that...incredible.

That guy and his stupid hat.

Strong runner though. I remember seeing that happen and not believing it.

Good stuff - thanks Herr Oberst!

I look for as many things as possible to draw inspiration from - especially as I enter my golden years.

You can find inspiration everywhere. If you look for it.

Heck - just the good that you see from other humans is inspirational.

Just a short while ago I was contacted by an eBay seller asking if I would be OK if he sent the item I bought a different way - which would save me money. The shipping cost was already posted when I entered my bid - he was under no obligation to do what he did. It cut the cost by over 50%.

You just have to keep paying it forward.

Getting back to "not giving up"...and my comments about drawing inspiration. I have a folder in my computer where I store quotes. Guess how many are there right now. 208!

Here's just one for example:

Amazing grit, 50 years ago this month. I remember that race, maybe the greatest come back of all time. Unfortunately the '72 Olympics were remembered for the Palestinian terrorist kidnaps and killings and the games being suspended for a few days

Wide World Of Sports was a must-see for me in those years.
I don't think I missed watching very many of them.

Saw the thread title and was expecting to see this guy ...
