The HUMBLE ...Vic Wild...American Russian

SO  VIC  WILD  FROM  THE  USA  MARRIES  A  RUSSIAN  GAL  AND  TAKES  RUSSIA  AS  HIS  ADOPTED NATION.

HE  WINS  HIS  SECOND  GOLD  MEDAL  FOR  RUSSIA -  THIS  TIME  IN  SLOPE   BOARD  SKYING.

INTERVIEWED  AFTERWARDS  ABOUT  HIS  WIN  HE  SAY,  "THIS  IS  UNREAL.  I'M  NOT  THE  BEST  HERE  AT  THIS  SPORT.  IF  YOU  ASKED  ME  TO  DO  IT  AGAIN  I  WOULD  NOT  BE  ABLE."

NOW  THAT  IS  SOME  REAL  ATTITUDE  OF  HUMBLENESS,  IN  KNOWING  THE  FACTS,  OF  NOT  THINKING  YOURSELF  ABOUT  WHAT  YOU  OUGHT.

VIC  WILD  KNEW  HIS  ABILITY  IN  THIS  EVENT  AND  THAT  HE  WAS  NOT  UP  WITH  THE  WORLD'S  BEST,  IN  THE  OVERALL  OF  WHAT  PEOPLE  DO  OVER  A  TIME  PERIOD.

HE  WAS  HUMBLE  ENOUGH  TO  REALIZE  HE  HAD  A  UNIQUE  DAY.

HUMBLE  ENOUGH  TO  EVEN  SAY,  "IF  YOU  ASKED  ME  TO  DO  THIS  AGAIN  I  WOULD  NOT  BE  ABLE."

AS  THE  APOSTLE  PAUL  SAID,  "FOR  I  SAY  THROUGH  THE  GRACE  GIVEN  UNTO ME,  TO  EVERY  MAN  THAT  IS  AMONG  YOU,  NOT  TO  THINK  OF  HIMSELF  HIGHLY  THAN  HE  OUGHT  TO  THINK,  BUT  TO  THINK  SOBERLY......" [ROMANS 12:3].

A  GOOD  LESSON  FOR  ALL  OF  US  IS  VIC  WILD'S  HUMILITY  IN  THIS  SOCHI  OLYMPICS  OF  2014.
