WORDS OF WISDOM: FAILURE

"I'm inspired by failure. By being told I can't do something. Defeat — the process of picking yourself back up. Learning — and losing — hurts like hell. It's the hardest thing in the world. But beating the odds? Everybody likes an underdog. It makes running with the top dogs that much sweeter. And that's why I work so hard."
-- Lolo Jones, US Olympic hurdler in an interview with Oakley.com (before Beijing) about her early hardships in life.

Without question, one of my favorite stories of the Olympics. Very moving and inspiring.
