Euro 2012 ended yesterday.
The glory of the Olympics will soon fill our living rooms, and we will watch in awe celebrating the triumph of the athletes.
Do we ever think about the thousands of hours spent on the track with few observers, often in indement weather, the injuries, defeats and the lack of normal social life , indeed the many sacrifices that must be made to participate in the world's greatest sporting event?
If this sounds like hard work, consider the alternative - the life of the uncommitted.
I understand the important distinction between giving up and giving in. You have been exhorted to never give up on what you want for life, but there could be many times on your journey when it is wise to give in.
