Abstract

There is a story about the highly accomplished Olympic gymnast, Barst Connor. According to the story, the Olympic competitor tore his bicep muscle nine months before the 1984 Olympics. many people were certain-and indeed proclaimed-that he would never recover from the injury and make it back in time to compete in the Olympics. In the end, not only did Bart Connor make it back, he won two gold medals. Afterwards, the TV broadcaster Charlie Jones interviewed the extraordinary gymnast and asked how he pulled off such a stunning feat. Bart said that he owed great thanks to his parents for the successes he achieved. Charlie Jones said, "Come on Bart, everyone thanks their parents when they win a gold medal". He said "Every night before bed my parents would ask me what my success for the day was. So I went to bed a success every night of my life. I woke up every morning a success. When I was injured before the Olympics, I knew I was going to make it back because I was a success every day of my life".
