JUST GET IN THE WATER

"The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it." - Richard L. Evans

The first electric light was so dim that a candle was needed to see its socket. One of the first steamboats took 32 hours to chug its way from New York to Albany, a distance of 150 miles. Wilbur and Orville Wright's first airplane flight lasted only 12 seconds. And the first automobiles traveled 2 to 4 miles per hour and broke down often. Carriages would pass them with their passengers shouting, "Get a horse!"
Kim Linehan holds the world record in the Women's 1500-meter freestyle. According to her coach, Paul Bergen, the 18-year-old is the leading amateur woman distance swimmer in the world. Kim does endless exercises and swims 7 to 12 miles a day. The hardest part of her regimen? "Getting in the water," she says.

The best way to start, is to start from the start. I like Nike, they say, "Just Do It." I'm sure we wouldn't have heard Kim Linehan, or she wouldn't be the world's record holder for the
women's 1500-metre freestyle if she never got into the water. I probably won't be writing this with light from the light bulb now, had the first light bulb not been made. We probably wouldn't know what air flight is today if the Wright brothers hadn't made the first airplane, even though it flew only twelve seconds.

The best way to eat an elephant is bit by bit. Are you scared you won't have finance for the wedding if you propose? Maybe you think that picture keeping you up at night is too lofty, and hence you're scared. If you couldn't God wouldn't have given you those dreams. Get into the water.
