A compilation of Usain Bolt being kind to others. Widely regarded as one of the greatest sprinters of all time, Usain Bolt’s ability to stay humble while stacking up numerous historic accomplishments is commendable. Some of his most notable achievements include:
1.Multiple Olympic Gold Medals: Bolt is an eight-time Olympic gold medalist, winning gold in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay events at three consecutive Olympic Games (Beijing 2008, London 2012, and Rio 2016).
https://t.co/E6uXBTOkiM Records: Bolt holds the world records in the 100m (9.58 seconds) and 200m (19.19 seconds), both set at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.
https://t.co/rdNZQLcrIv Championships Success: Bolt has won a total of 11 gold medals at the World Championships in Athletics, including three consecutive 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay titles in 2009, 2013, and 2015.
4.Triple-Triple: Bolt is the only athlete to win the "triple-triple," which refers to three gold medals in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay events at three consecutive Olympic Games (Beijing 2008, London 2012, and Rio 2016).
https://t.co/ZfsuhiDuQ0's Fastest Man: Bolt has consistently been recognized as the world's fastest man, with his record-breaking performances and dominance in the sprinting events.
These accomplishments along with his humility have solidified Usain Bolt's status as a legendary figure in the world of athletics and a true icon of the sport.
This is one of the best videos to ever exist for entrepreneurs, creators... I think about it often.
In 2016, Pharrell Williams visited a NYU music production class to critique student songs.
At the beginning you could see student "Maggie Rogers" drenched with the absolute terror of sharing this with him.
Pharrell is there just trying to keep his excitement in.
The guy couldn’t wait to tell her this song is the bee’s knees.
After he listened to a song called “Alaska”, he explained why “I have zero, zero, zero notes for that:”
24 hours later, someone posted the clip to Reddit.
It blew up and the rest is history. Grammy nominated, millions of followers etc.
And Maggie responded to the Reddit thread (i'll share screenshot in the next tweet).
This story I find so cool because it inspires other artists to share what they got.
We all can all connect with the fear of showing our work. It ain't easy.
And to have a unique POV like Maggie. Easy to copy, harder to have something unique.
I’ve got a bunch of designs, creations that have never seen the light of day.
This video inspires me to publish more.
My point of sharing this video:
Publish your art anonymously.
Or publish your art proudly as yourself. Bonus points if it's one of a kind work.
But publish your darn art.
This is your new week's energy.
This is your 2024 energy.
Go get 'em.
