Everyone experiences tough times, it is a measure of your determination and dedication how you deal with them and how you can come through them.
Hard work certainly goes a long way. These days a lot of people work hard, so you have to make sure you work even harder and really dedicate yourself to what you are doing and setting out to achieve.
This is a learning in the business life that first of all you need to have commitment, dedication and passion for what you are doing.
The torch relay is an excellent embodiment of all that the Olympic Games have come to symbolise - a celebration of the human spirit. Personally to me, it represents striving to be the best in whatever we do, never giving up despite the odds, and a commitment to health and fitness.
