Olympic Moments

Hi, I am Bill Stadnik from Louisville, KY...hometown of Muhammed Ali. I can remember when the then, young Cassius Clay, won the 1960 light heavyweight Olympic Gold Medal. And I also recall in 1996 when he showed the signs of Parkinsons Disease as he lit the Olympic Flame in Atlanta. After meeting him recently, I was glad to see the "flame" or spirit still burning in his eyes.

Accountability

Challenges... and to be challenged, can be very motivational. That added test or obligation can be the ultimate incentive that makes the difference between think; try; do. I can easily rationalize my own procrastination; but when I am accountable to another, that additional co-dependence provides the necessary incentive to push through my reluctance to achieve what I should do on my own. So joining a "group" benefits "me"... who'd a thought of that?
