Living Fast

One of Lance Armstrong’s personal beliefs is to live fast. He says that he does everything fast, he eats fast, breathes fast and lives fast.

In his early twenties, before being diagnosed with testicular cancer, Lance Armstrong was rapidly being regarded as the greatest cyclist ever.

However, Armstrong faced the most difficult challenge ever when he was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer and given only a 40% chance of survival. Most people would have been destroyed by news but Lance had a difficult attitude.

Lance said that it was a good thing that it happened to him so young, whilst his body was still strong, as this gave him the strongest chance of defeating this. More importantly, it gave him the quickest chance of defeating it.

We are living in a world that is ruled by speed. We see how every 6 months a new computer comes out that is double the speed of its preceding model. What we must also realize is that this rule also applies to success. The most successful people are simply the quickest ones to act.

As we enter a new week, try and live by Lance Armstrong’s example and live fast. By doing this, you could have the most productive week of your life.
