I read the sports news on Yahoo and found that Michael Phelps of the USA has won his 11th Olympic gold (including the ones he got in Athens). This young man is really born to swim. From the looks of it the Beijing Olympiad will be the one most remembered for the feat of this American swimming sensation.
I am sure that Phelps would have trained very, very hard and had made lots and lots of sacrifices in order to reach the degree of excellence in swimming that he has achieved. Now, this is one example that all of us should follow instead of wishing for things to just come our way by way of luck. All the feng shui activators, all the talimans and prayers in the world would not be as potent or effective as discipline, hard work, perserverence and sacrifice. The combination of the four is the real recipe to excellence.
