Courage is self-control

Hurry up and wait.

I enjoy watching the Olympics, and even though Track and Field gets old after a few hours, it’s still something I find fascinating.

When you’re watching the sprinters getting ready to run, you can almost feel the tension through the television screen. They set their feet. They take position. And they wait for the tone to sound or the start pistol to fire.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the starter pistol never went off? How long would they stay ready to go?
