Heroic deeds come in all shapes and sizes

So Andy lost and Rafa won. There is no shame being Hector when Achilles is around however Hector must become Paris and find the heel! Just a few points separated these two great players in a match that yet again should have been a final not a semi. Well Andy's efforts were heroic and you could see how much the match had taken out of him but I say to him now of his heroic deeds, your day will come and you shall be crowned champion.

Turning to other heroic deeds I recently visited the Underground Tunnels at Dover Castle that were used to plan the evacuation at Dunkirk. These people were heroes of a different kind and it is very much worth a visit to pay tribute and memory of those people who made sure that I can write this blog today.

But at the end of the day the only reason for being heroic is because of love. Love for a sport, for a country for an ideal for a person. It's all the same because without that love ordinary people would not find the passion and the courage to do extraordinary things.

So my thought from the edge for today is simple.

Put love in your heart, fire in your belly and whatever you are doing, DO IT WITH PASSION!
