I am guilty of not watching too much but that is because, as I said before, I'm not too much into the Olympics as a whole, but what I did see was inspiring. It does kind of put our own lives into perspective a little bit and, although I don't subscribe overly to the "other people are worse off than you" argument, I did feel that moaning about my life seems a little self-indulgent and self-pitying, after seeing people who could easily have said "sod it" to life actually grasp it by the proverbials and say "you're not going to beat me".
Well done to them all!!!
