By now you should know that Venus and Serena Williams played for the title at Wimbledon and that Venus won! It was a blessing to see these two women vie for the championship of a game that traditionally does not attract African Americans. They were also the last two Americans to represent our country at this British tennis match. Another 1st also occurred at Wimbledon with Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer for the championship at Wimbledon. Since Nadal also won the French Open he accomplished something that has been accomplished in 28 years – some one to win both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year.
All these athletes embody the characteristics of winners that even in the face of at time insurmountable odds they persist to go that extra mile. Whether your extra mile is to put an extra our in to study or put the effort in to lose the last 10 pounds or to grit your teeth when one of our customers is less that polite, you are Winners each day you put that extra mile in.
