Lesson #4: Don't ever assume...

This is my second olympic post, but i could not help it.

Tonight, Jen and i were watching the men's 400 meter hurdle final and were exicited to see the US men sweep the competition. After the race was over and we were watching the atheletes celebrate, Jen noticed Angelo Taylor, the american winner in his sunglasses scanning the cheering crowd.

Jen then inocently asks, "Is he blind?"

I could only laugh. Not only would it be an amazing for a blind person to complete and win a 400 meter race, remaining in their lane the whole time, but a hurdles competition...?!?

But there is the lesson, while many of us would never question an impossibility, Jen occasionally does. In that question, we can be reminded that nothing is impossible and we all should be thankful for that reminder.
