•I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault.
•When someone hurts me, I know that forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit, but not nearly as gratifying.
•I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me.

amateurism was officially removed from the Olympics in the early 1990s. Contrary to popular belief, the Ancient Greek athletes were not amateurs. The concept of amateurism prevented the working class from competing against the aristocracy, who could compete without having to worry about making a living. Everyone else had to give up training time to earn a living, or else take money for their sporting performances, become professional, and render themselves ineligible for competitions such as the Olympics.
