You Were A Champion Before You Were Even Born!

The start of this sounds like it might be pornography, but bear with me. There is a message.

A fertile male human ejaculates between 2 and 5 mililiters (ml) of semen (on average about a teaspoon). In each ml there are normally 50-100 million sperm. Only a small fraction of the sperm deposited in the woman's vagina end up in the uterus. From those that make it to the
uterus, only a small fraction of those find their way to the oviducts
(fallopian tubes). Usually the egg is all the way up at the other end of the oviduct. Of those that are in the oviduct, a small fraction might make their way from the lower to the upper oviduct. So, in fact, the number of sperm that might successfully arrive at where the egg is located is actually very small. Another problem is that the egg is not just waiting to be fertilized by the first sperm to come along. The egg is usually covered by a thick layer of cells called the corona radiata that serve as a blockade to restrict sperm from getting into the egg. Sperm cells contain enzymes that break this barrier down. It may actually require an assault of many sperm to break down the corona sufficiently to let one sperm get through to the egg.

So picture the process like a marathon… Run in a maze… Filled with mucus… Followed by attempting to break into a heavily guarded fortress. More often than not, nobody completes the triathlon. That one sperm that finally makes it, is the champion of Mother Nature's triathlon. So, just to be born, you not only had to complete this triathlon, but you had to be #1 out of over 100 million sperm… Just being born makes you a champion!!!

So, think about your dreams, and tell me, are your odds better or worse than your odds were of being born at all??? I dare say, nothing you ever want to accomplish in this life will come with worse odds than your odds were of being born in the first place!!! So you might as well get started now!
