Hey people. You know, if I had the chance to edit that Valkyrie (the Hitler one)spoof, I'd do a topic on training and protein shake. "Stalin takes protein?!" "No wonder he's owning us!" "Those who don't take protein, leave the room..." "Hey guys, where d'you buy protein?" "I want some too!"

Sometimes (actually 99.9999% of the time) I can't stand water training. I mean, I push hard, but I can't see results, I don't find myself going faster. It's not like running or gymming. If I run a lot, push hard, I do go faster (if I don't get hurt), get better timings. 9min10s for 2.4km! That's an improvement from 9min35s from last time. See, improvement! For gym too. I find the weights I do increase with time too. Plus, I get visibly buffer after gymming (it's very motivating). But for rowing, seeing myself push so hard to dismal results... Demoralizing.

I went around asking for opinions on the greed-ambition thing today. It seems the difference is the reason behind the act of wanting more. But what is a good reason and what is a bad reason?

Let's say you're ambitious and want to be a billionaire. But isn't accumulating a lot of money greed? Haha guess what? If I ever become a billionaire (don't make a joke about currency please...) I'll go and start a company something like 3M, or maybe fulfil that crazy underground mass train-car system (I remember talking about it sometime back, go search my posts). Maybe the proceeds I get from these things can go into giving oppurtunity to those who lack it?

So... Would you count what I want as greed or ambition? Note that I'm still being greedy by wanting (okay, not really, but it would be nice) so much cash. Hehe is this an indication of greed and ambition being the same thing? Can we really draw a line between the two? Or are they one? Just like everything else, all one, one or nothing at all?

I'm asking too many questions, for the precise reason that definite answers may never come. Hmm... What defines too many question, by the way?

Done. Bye.
