Michael Phelps on how to accomplish big things:

"When I said I wanted to win eight gold medals, basically half the people in the swimming world thought I was absolutely crazy and nobody could ever do something like that. But for me, I was somebody who believed in it and somebody who believed in the process of getting there."

Michael knew it wouldn't happen overnight.

As he puts it:

"Every little small thing that we did was a small stepping stone in order to even be able to have that chance and that opportunity to do what I did in 2008. From 2002 to 2008 was basically trial and error."

On managing pressure during the Olympics:

"Winning a gold medal is absolutely incredible, but I knew that I had seven other events after the first day. So I have to throw that in the back of my head, throw that race out. I broke a world record, won my first gold medal, cool, things are starting really well. I have to put that behind me to get ready for the next race."

He continues:

"On top of that I have to make sure I'm eating the right amount, I'm sleeping the right amount, my body is as fresh as I can possibly be. That means sitting in an ice tank, getting massages, getting stretched. All of these small things end up adding up to the major end result."

His daily approach:

"We would call it putting money into the bank. At the end of the year when we had a major international competition, we could withdraw that money that we had saved throughout the year."

On motivation:

"I'll be the first one to tell you there were a lot of days where I did not want to get out of bed. But if you have those little small goals, those little small things that get you excited when you don't want to, it's going to make it even better and even easier at the end."

The difference between good and great:

"If you look at the greats in any walk of life, the greats do things when they don't always want to. And that's the separation for me."

Small daily deposits create Olympic results.

🚨 DAMN.

Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:

“My mom said I can��t play with you because you’re a nigger.”

She was SIX.

And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.

Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.

Just because of the color of her skin.

A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.

Retired Colonel Ken Grundborg was unable to attend two graduation ceremonies at Georgia Tech due to active military service. Today, he walked across the stage at 88-years old.

Grundborg earned his bachelor’s degree in 1960 and his master’s in 1966 — both in civil engineering. He missed his ceremony when the @usarmy called him to serve his country. He spent 20 years with the Army Corps of Engineers, also serving in the 82nd Airborne Division, the Rangers, and the Pathfinders.

He earned a Bronze Star Medal, Legion of Merit, and Ranger Tab. Congratulations Ken! We’re glad you finally made it! 💛🎓🐝 🇺🇸 #GT26 #RamblinOn

Victor Glover is the embodiment of modern exploration: U.S. Navy Captain, test pilot, and NASA astronaut who piloted SpaceX Crew-1, the first operational Crew Dragon mission, helping restore human spaceflight from U.S. soil. He spent 168 days aboard the International Space Station, conducted multiple spacewalks. Coming back to earth today as the pilot for Artemis II, he’s is a true Hero of the Planet. 🚀

CJ McCollum on his message to the Hawks when he got traded there:

“I’ve lived a great life and made a lot of money, and I just wanna see you guys be successful. Your success is my success, I’m not trying to keep moving my family so let’s figure out how to win.”

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.
