I don't know if you remember who Ian Thorpe is.
Ian Thorpe was Michael Phelps of the Australian team, right?
And the 2000 Olympics in Australia are coming.
And he was 17 years old.
And he had the spotlight right on him because he had to deliver.
And I remember...
watching an interview with him a few months before the Olympics.
And the reporter asked him, why do you wake up at three o'clock in the morning to train?
And he said, well, because I know that the Americans are waking up at 3.30.
Everything that is worth in life is going to take that little extra.
And the difference between being ordinary and extraordinary is that extraordinary.
You as a human being always have a choice to leave a place better than how you found it.
You know, I know no matter how difficult it is, no matter how complex the situation is, no matter how it looks.
And sometimes it's just 0.1 mile in a run or is one more lap in the pool or is one more minute of training or is one more minute of conversation with somebody that you're mentoring.
It's just that little extra that
If that allows you to live the world in a better place than how you found it, those little wins make a difference.
Yeah, thanks for that, Ed.
And I do have an accent.
My wife tells me that she likes it.
I don't like it, to be honest.
