Medals and Dominoes

The iPod was out of the box. Medal #1.

The iPhone started its own box. Medal #2.

The iPad has now finished that box and the masses have taken up residence there. Medal #3.

And we know, today, the minds in Cupertino are imagining and creating what will lead to medals #4, #5, #6, etc.

Remarkable is the habit of the greats.

Is it me – or does the 20th Olympic medal look a lot easier to get than the first?

Do something so wild – 

Create something so extravagant –

Serve in a way that is so mind-blowing that you cause the first domino to fall –

He will then pave the way for the rest.

Soon

Soon the media will be filled with predicting the to-be-told gold medal stories for the 2012 Olympics in London.

Soon we’ll find out who went back to the weight room, gym, pool, track, or court shortly after the ’08 Olympics ended.

And soon we’ll find out who is just now going back to the weight room, gym, pool, track, or court in hopes that 5 months of training will be enough.

Sooner than later, we must realize that sooner always trumps later and that our success dishes are not microwave safe.

Debrief: Gold medals are more indicative of disciplined decisions than they are of shear talent.
