Yeah Canada
So Canada did awesome in the Olympics even with the men's hockey team pulling up lame. However in the true spirt of the Olympics and with sport in general let me offer you this. It was shared to me by someone wise beyond their years.
The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; (hello Joe Sakic) who strive valiantly; who errs adn comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends theirself ins a worthy cause; who at best, know the triumph of high achievement (hello Cindy Klassen & the Gushue Rink) and who, at the worst, if they fail, at leat fail while daring greatly, so that there place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Yes life is more about getting to the start line than crossing the finsh line sometimes.
