It's funny how when climbing or flying, experience and perspective can turn an inntially percieved failure into a reason to smile, laugh and remember the route or flight or people and not the result. your a wise dude.<BR/>cheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-41138566056089282942007-03-09T07:51:00.000-08:002007-03-09T07:51:00.000-08:00It always amazed Chris and I at each Worlds we wen...It always amazed Chris and I at each Worlds we went to how serious the pilots were. We vowed that we would stop competing when it stopped being fun.<BR/><BR/>Perspective changes based on context. Sure, everyone wants to make goal and do well, but when that becomes the focus, rather than having fun, I think you have lost something.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't planning on flying HGs this year because I was pissed I didn't make the team, but Cochrane was soarable yesterday and I realized that I fly because it is fun, not because I want to make a team. See you in Golden... I am going to kick yer ass. hahahahabenylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187888375770709520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-89061212866176654522007-03-09T06:39:00.001-08:002007-03-09T06:39:00.001-08:00Congrats Will on keeping it all in perspective - y...Congrats Will on keeping it all in perspective - you didn't "suck" ;-) Sounds like it was a great B-Day and a fun place to spend it.
