The things I am doing right now I have dreamt about my whole life,
This was a dream come true for me, ... Ever since I was a little kid, I was dreaming of this. But when I saw Erik over there, it was even more incredible.
I like to just think of myself as a normal person who just has a passion, has a goal and a dream and goes out and does it. And that's really how I've always lived my life.
It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.
So many people along the way,whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can't be done. But it all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there no limits,
Dream as big as you can dream, and anything is possible.
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.
The more you dream the more you achieve.
In 2003, I was in the best shape that I've ever been in my entire life. Last summer was something that I'd always dreamt of, ... This doesn't even compare to those meets. It's almost more of a steppingstone than anything.
It was very tough doubling up but I've got no regrets. I was just destroyed (in the 100m) but I just wanted to put that race behind me.
It was tough. I wasn't able to get out with the guys, ... I was in their wake. I was just destroyed.
Folks between the ages of 25 and 54, households with children, households with a median income of $73,000, that's our target demographic.
People really expect to get news and information for free. They get it free on TV, they get it free on the web, and there's no reason they shouldn't get it free in the newspaper.
Bob has clearly stated that he's dropping the bomb on me, ... Hopefully we can change a few things in the upcoming year and improve on this.
