So much of our thoughts and wishes are left unsaid …
We justify it in different ways, calling it common courtesy sometimes, being polite others
Sometimes its out of fear and sometimes out of cowardice …
but the fact remains … things are left unsaid
Then again there is this prespective too …
As they say, pick your poison …
“Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS, We’re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you on to the web in a few seconds. The operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web and that this OS was our attempt to rethink what operating systems should be. We are completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates, It should just work. This announcement is huge. This is the first time we have had a truly competitive OS on the market in years. This is potentially disruptive and is the first real attempt by anyone to go after Microsoft,” said Google.
Roger Federer made history when he defeated a persistent Andy Roddick to win a sixth Wimbledon title and claim a record 15th Grand Slam crown in a classical final.
“I’m one of the lucky few who gets cheered for, so thank you for that. I just want to say congratulations to Roger, he is a true champion and he deserves all he gets, I hope to come back one day and get my name up on that winners’ board. ”Sorry Pete, I tried.” to compatriot Sampras while looking up to the Royal Box.” Roddick said.
“I have to give it to him, The critics say Laver, and Nadal’s beaten him a few times … in my book he is the greatest of all times. Roger’s a friend, he’s a good guy. He can get 17 or 18 majors. If he just keeps it going and stays healthy, he could go to 18, 19, actually. The guy’s a legend and now he’s an icon. He’s a credit to the game.” said Sampras.
“Andy played unbelievable, It feels great. It was a crazy match with an unbelievable end and my head’s still spinning, but it’s an unbelievable moment in my career. It’s not one of those goals you set as a little boy but it’s been quite a career and quite a month. This is not why I’m playing tennis, to break records, and this doesn’t mean I’m going to stop playing tennis. I hope to come back for many more years. It’s staggering that I’ve been able to play so well for so many years, staying injury free. For me to be the player I am now, I’m surprised. I didn’t expect it. I never thought I could be this consistent. When he walked in I did get more nervous, But it’s especially nice that so many legends were sitting there – especially Pete. I know how much the record meant to him and he knows how much it means to me. I still feel like we share it just because he was such a wonderful champion. It’s nice that he shows appreciation for what I’m doing.
I’m still processing the whole thing because a lot has happened in the last few weeks, It was such a historic day in tennis and me being the main character in this… I have so many pictures going through my mind. It’s hard to switch off, I want to see the match point again, I want to read something about what the fans saw, how the media saw it. I had about two hours sleep, but it doesn’t matter. I slept enough to last three weeks and I still feel great.
I get inspiration from Tiger Woods and from Michael Jordan who was one of my childhood heroes, Also Michael Schumacher as well, he was at the top for so long. I always get inspired by guys who did something at the highest of levels for such a long time and who are true champions and great ambassadors for their sport.” Federer said.
“It feels so amazing, I’m so blessed, I feel like I shouldn’t be holding the trophy, like I’m holding Venus’s trophy. It’s named for Venus and she always wins, so it hasn’t settled in I won yet.” said Serena.
“Today she was too good, she had an answer for everything. She played the best tennis today so congratulations. I don’t think the loss has set in yet because I’m still smiling. I’ve had so many great times here and of course I’m looking forward to next year and the doubles final later. I love what I do and most of all I love playing these finals.” said Venus.
The 27-year-old won 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 to regain the title she won in 2002 and 2003.
Aldous Huxley said “Every man’s memory is his private literature.”
I disagree …. With all due respect to this brilliant writer. Memories are so much more then works of creative imagination, or dramatization of reality, or philosopical statements … they are simply preserved moments of ones life.
Memories and faith are the only true possessions that one can genuinely claim. They are the only things that cannot be taken away. For some its their sole possession.
Roger Federer moves on to Wimbledon Finals after defeating Tommy Hass (7-6, 7-5, 6-3), where he is going to face the american Andy Roddick. Federer is on the verge of making tennis history yet again!.
They say numbers don’t lie folks, even when the numbers are as fantastical as Federers. Consider this …
You would think this tennis giant would be a little nervous about the upcoming match, perched on the cusp of tennis immortality as he is but he says …
“I don’t think so. It helped me a lot going through trying to achieve the fifth straight Wimbledon and equalling Bjorn Borg. For some reason that meant the world to me. I was like in a bubble for two weeks just trying to achieve that.So this time round I think I am much more relaxed. Maybe it is also because of Paris.”
