Did you see the race yesterday? Michael Phelps is the man.
He was taunted by a challenger but he didn’t respond. He stayed humble. He stayed focused. He used the trash talk as a motivator and then did what he has always done. He swam like a wild man and broke another world record and proved again he is the best of the best in the world. And he didn’t rely on the latest in technology either. He went old school!
Sometimes people talk too much. I know I talk too much because I blog so much. I respond to too many emails. I make myself so available to the media but it is always better to let actions do the talking for you and to not whip the media up in a frenzy. Just remain calm and humble. And then execute and perform well. That is the best satisfaction. That is a great life lesson for us all.
