A Lesson From Lance Armstrong

I don't know much about the Tour du France or anything related to cycling. However, I must say that Lance Armstrong is one tough son of a gun. The guy won the battle against testicular cancer and went on to show the world that American can ride bicycle for the 6th times (seventh is on the way). Established the Live Strong Foundation and successfully marketed his Yellow Band with Nike. And let's not forget his is sleeping with Cheryl Crow. So what's the lesson to be learned??? His exit strategy; knowing when to quit. The 2005 Tour du France race will be his last. He is retiring from cycling perhaps forever. Who knows??? He might be itching to come out of retirement by the next Tour du France. But that's not the point. The point is that he is able to let this go in the peak of his career.

On the other hand, the all banged up Jerry Rice is playing for the Broncos this season. He should have retired after playing for the Oakland Raiders and not signed with the Seattle Seahawks. Pretty much he doesn't have to prove that he is the all time best receiver. We saw his glorious past playing with 2 great quarterbacks-Joe Montana and Steve Young. This guy can catch passes from any corners. Unfortunately, age is the key factor in many professional sports. I hate to sat this Jerry but you are over the hill. Save yourself the embarassment and retire already. Save a little dignity for yourself and save your health for yourself and your family.
