2 Things you decide to do everyday

He ran track and trained hard every day. He constantly tried to work out harder than any of his teammates in high school. His motto was to "Work out until you pass out." But he never worked hard enough to pass out. However all his hard work made him a gold medalist in track.

His daughter always looked up to her dad. As she entered high school, she would hear stories of how great her dad use to be. She aspired to be like him. But always felt as if she was living in his shadow. Throughout high school she won some track meets, but still felt as if her dad over shadowed her.

Well now she is a senior in high school and she made it to the state finals. Her dad was out of state at a business meeting and this would be the first race he missed all year. The race begins. She paces herself throughout the whole race and during the last 2 laps, she realizes that it's time to give it everything she's got. With half a lap to go she is way out in front. As she gets around the last turn, her leg muscles feel as if they are on fire. She pushes even harder. There is the tape. She is 50 feet from the finish line. Then it happens. She collapses. A paramedic had to revive her. She wound up in last place.

At home, she goes into her room and just continues to cry for hours. She doesn't want to talk to anyone. Her dad finally comes home and walks in her room. She has her face down and tries to ignore her dad. Her dad said, "I AM SO PROUD OF YOU." In a state of confusion she responds, "But dad I came in last place." Her dad said, "Yes but you've accomplished something that I never did in my life. You worked harder then I ever did. You actually worked out until you passed out. That is something that I never accomplished."
