Congratulations to Kim Yu Na. South Koreans have every right to be proud of her. I am happy she was able to win a gold medal in the Olympics and do her country proud.
It is said that as a child she thought Olympic champions were made in heaven. They were just placed here on earth. After winning the gold medal in figure skating, she learned that Olympic champions are made here on earth. Yes, they earn their gold through hard work.
However, don't forget that we were all made to be divine. We are all special. Each one of us is a gift for the other. We don't have to earn our uniqueness; it's God given. We are all made in heaven.
