Heart warming story of a poor villager becoming an Olympic gold medalist, breaking world record with raw talent and hard work.

The guy owned only one javelin and practiced with it for SEVEN years!
My kid, on the other hand, has had 7 soccer balls, 7 pairs of cleats, 7 different shin guard designs… in 4 years… for REC soccer… and still complains. |

At least you see the craziness. Most parents won’t ever reconsider this mess that we’ve gotten ourselves into. Over indulgence. |
