He may or may not have. I'm not sure how he could have passed countless drug tests without getting caught when his teammates who supposedly cheated with him did get caught but he could have cheated. Either way he's still an incredible inspiration, I don't know how you can see someone like him who overcame ten times more adversity than we'll likely ever have and still think you've got it rough.
A reason to be sad/grouchy...
No offense intended Amiok, I'm just saying there are always people worse off than you.

The drive for success needs to come from within. Amiok seems to enjoy the challenge of telling people why he is hopeless.
I remember when I was younger and suicidal, there was nothing anyone could do to convince me my self-destructive thoughts weren't true. Me changing and striving for success had to be something "I" wanted.
People can try to help Amiok, but they seem to help him solidify his feelings.
Amiok, with enough effort, you might convince other people of the way you feel about yourself.
I remember once hearing a rich man say that the difference between a successful man and an unsuccessful man is the way he sees failure.
The successful man will take it as a learning experience and become better as a result.
The unsuccessful man will give up and go for something easier.
Food for thought.
If he did it still doesn't offset the adversity he went through or the countless thousands of people he's helped with his foundations.
Amiok is struggling like many young men. For most young men, especially the ones intelligent enough to not think like sheep and see the lies and bs of the world it can be a terrible experience. Some of us internalize this more than others.

True. Once you see through the illusion and realise that most people are very similar ... you start to question things.
So would you take the blue pill or the red pill??? Do you really want to see how far the "rabbit hole" goes???
Greed is the destroyer of worlds. The normal citizens of this world are lulled and swayed by the media which is controlled by those in power. The powerful use this method along with others(taxes and legal BS) to subjugate the masses. Those who move against the beast are marked as radical and crazy. You may have seen quite a few of the enlightened, here and there, among the memorable tragedies that stayed in the headlines. They are always portrayed as criminal deviants. However, when enough people "wake up", the time of blood letting will really begin and it will be in biblical proportions...
..not to appear a crackpot but it's true..
I would take both.
AmIok you should not generalise people that 99% is disgusting if you have never met them personaly. If someone hurt you, thats this person fault not everyone else. I have a strong impresion that you don't like yourself. The first thing you should do is to accept/love yourself you are (I'm still on this phase ;D). If you dont like something about yourself, change it. Can't change it? Did you even try? If yes then live with the awareness that you have did everything you could that was in your might. Giving everything you have in order to achive a goal is not shameful, its admirable. Does not mater if you succed or not. When you start loving yourself you will want to share yourself with others. People will feel that immedietaly.
There is never too late for changes, but its better to start them in time before you realise that you have had wasted your precious time by doing nothing.
I wish you best luck. I hope that I'm not disgusting.

And that said, start involving yourself with Zen.
I think this is what would happen...
Was gonna post that!
I've decide to be celibate until i hit at least 5.5 BPEL or until I am 100% certain the girl would not comment on my size. I am 5 BPEL now which is way too small for sex.
