No

No isn't a popular thing to say, but even if someone doesn't take no as an answer, sometimes it's still not the wrong thing to say.

Simone Biles said no, that is why she is the champion she is. She didn't play along when she could have, and a lot of eople would have.

Curtain

Something that opens up in a play or the Wizard of Oz.

The guy with the beer muscles had to find a spot to put his dinghy when he realized it wasn't doing any good for show purposes to try and take it behind the curtain with him.

Tribe

Athletes don't need people they might think they need at times, they got as far as they did by doing what they did, and it took them and their teammates to get them there. Trust in their teammates might help them regain their trust of themselves, if they feel like they need help from an outside source. A tight group, a tribe is enough to get somebody through something.

A tribe can keep you going at times you get a little mixed up.

Family

Doesn't have to be blood family, there can be a loose sense of what family is.

If your real family isn't present, a tribe is kind of like family. If you've had family present for everything great you've done, everything great that happened to you in life, then they're not there, it's an adjustment, it's new territory. You're the same person with a part of you that was there gone, a piece of the puzzle missing. Not everything is about putting together a puzzle, everything happens for a reason. Sometimes two trains start going different directions and it's hard to tell which direction you're going, it's not a negative feeling.

Olympics

The Olympics are just games, so at the end of the day, if you're an athlete, hopefully you do what you want to do no matter what, from winning a medal to having a good time and not winning anything at all. It's not about what other people want you to do, since they are not there. What makes people happy and doing what they love isn't being lost, being lost is not having found something you love to be doing.

The Olympics are games, and people sometimes turn them into something beyond human. Life is not a comic book.
