Never, never, never, never give up.

Winston Churchill said that. I think it is one of the best pieces of advice anyone can give. The attitude I see a lot in myself, and in others, is this minimalistic thought approach of looking at things. "What is the least I can do to get by? To pass this class? To win?" And when things get too hard, we bail. How sad! We need to be asking ourselves, "What is the most I can do?"

I don't know if you've been watching the Olympics at all, but they have been making me think. The Olympics are about making your dreams come true. There are hundreds of people, from countries all over the world who had a dream, set a goal, and fulfilled it. The process is simple, the work is hard. But they do whatever it takes, because it is their dream. Their goal. They don't give up. Now, chances are none of us are going to become Olympic gold-medalists. But if we learn their lesson about hard work and perseverance, we will get a taste of that glory. If we truly set a goal, we can absolutely achieve it. We have unlimited potential when we set our minds to something. You can't fail if you never, never, never, never give up.

So, let me ask you. What is your dream?
