If you have been watching the 2008 Summer Olympics, it is hard not to be inspired by the accomplishments of U.S. swimmer, Michael Phelps. As of this posting, he has won more gold medals than any other Olympian, and he still has a few races to go
However, I think the most awesome thing about Michael is his mental attitude. To see what I mean, read this. You will be impressed at his work ethic, discipline and intensity.
He referenced a quote by Harold Geneen that motivated him: "...words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises but only performance is reality."
One other thing impresses me about him. Despite all the medals, accolades and sponsorship dollars, he is still the first in/last out of the pool every day.
So, think you can make it to the gym for 30 minutes today? I thought so.
