To be a giant

This piece has stuck in my mind since it was used in ads for the last Winter Olympics.

To be a giant.
This has forever been our passion, this desire to be a giant
Not to stand on one’s shoulders or have one for a friend.
Those these may be fortunate things.
But to be one.
Giants step over barriers that seem never ending.
They conquer mountains that appear insurmountable.
Giants rise above fear.
Triumph over pain.
Push themselves and inspire others.

To be a Giant.
To do Giant things.
To take Giant steps.
To move the world forward.
