A VIDEO OF FILIPINO DIVERS AT THE OLYMPICS
HAS GONE VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SPECIFICALLY FACEBOOK.
UNFORTUNATELY IT HAS BEEN LABELED AS SOMETHING THAT
OCCURRED DURING THIS YEAR'S OLYMPICS, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY FROM
2015 WHEN THE DIVERS APPEAR TO NOT REALLY KNOW HOW TO DIVE AT
ALL.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THE VIDEOS, AND THERE IS A POINT
THAT I THINK WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
FIRST VIDEO OF ONE OF THE DIVERS AND HOW IT DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR
HIM.
ALL RIGHT, SO THAT IS ONE OF THE EXAMPLES.
I KNOW THAT BY
OLYMPICS STANDARDS THAT WAS NOT
GOOD, WHICH IS WHY THIS HAS GONE VIRAL STILL PRETTY FUCKING
IMPRESSIVE.
>> AFTER HE LANDED ON HIS BACK IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE, HE
TOTALLY GOT UP AND WAS LIKE IT'S
FINE.
WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT HE PROBABLY FAILS FAIRLY
REGULARLY, SO HIS BACK IS COMPLETELY NUMB.
THE POINT I
WANT TO MAKE IS THIS, WHEN I LOOK AT THE OLYMPICS IS THE
FINAL LIMIT THAT YOU CAN PUSH
THE HUMAN CAPACITY.
IF THERE IS SOMETHING I SEE IN THE OLYMPICS,
I CAN PROBABLY DO JUST AS BAD A JOB IN THAT THING, AND IN THAT
INSTANCE I FEEL LIKE I COULD DO NOT A BETTER JOB, BUT JUST AS
BAD AS THE FILIPINO DIVING TEAM DID, THEN YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T
BE THERE.
>>I COULDN'T DO WHAT HE DID THERE.
I GET IT.
HE FAILED.
>>IT'S FUNNY.
>> HIS REACTION TO HIS FAILURE I THINK WAS AMAZING.
LET'S LOOK AT
THE SECOND VIDEO, THEN I'LL TELL YOU WHAT ONE OF THE DIVERS HAD
TO SAY ABOUT THIS FAILURE.
TAKE
A LOOK.
OKAY, SO THAT'S THE SECOND DIVER.
CHECK OUT THE
SECOND VIDEO, IT'S BEEN VIEWED MORE THAN 8 MILLION TIMES AND
SHARED NEARLY 40,000 TIMES ON FACEBOOK.
ONE OF THOSE DIVERS
COMMENTED.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
I LOVE HIM.
>>MIC DROP, JUST AWESOME.
>>WHAT A GREAT ATTITUDE.
>>THAT'S WHAT I
TOOK AWAY FROM IT TOO.
>> IF I DID SOMETHING THAT EMBARRASSED MYSELF PUBLICLY, I
WOULD PROBABLY JUST COWER IN A DARK CORNER AND TRY TO AVOID
HUMAN CONTACT UNTIL I FELT
BETTER.
>>WHEN YOU WATCH THE FULL VIDEO YOU SEE THEM HIGH-FIVE EACH
OTHER, THEY ARE SPLASHING AROUND IN THE POOL.
THIS VIDEO REALLY
DOES WARM MY HEART.
YOU CAN TELL FROM THEIR FACES THEY ARE REALLY
TRYING.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO
POINT OUT THAT THE DIVING TEAM DID NOT END UP GOING TO THE
OLYMPICS THIS YEAR.
MAYBE THEY ARE SETTING UP FOR A GREAT
COMEBACK STORY BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THEY JUST GOT THE
SILVER MEDAL IN THE WEIGHTLIFTING COMPETITION IN
RIO.
YAY PHILIPPINES.
>> OKAY HERE'S WHAT I WILL SAY, THE REASON WHY THEY ARE HAVING A
GOOD TIME IS BECAUSE IT'S TWO NORMAL DUDES THAT SOMEHOW ENDED
UP, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WERE LIKE I GUESS WE WILL GO DIVE FOR THE
FILIPINO TEAM LIKE WHATEVER.
AND NOW THEY ARE JUST LIKE HI-5, WE
TRIED OUR BEST.
AT LEAST WE GOT A NICE VACATION TO SINGAPORE OUT
OF THIS AND WE GET TO SPLASH AROUND IN THE POOL IN OUR
SPEEDOS.
>> I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF SILVER LININGS.
EVEN IF YOU EMBARRASS YOURSELF IN THE MOST PUBLIC WAY
IMAGINABLE, THERE IS A SILVER
LINING SOMEWHERE.
EMBRACE
THAT SILVER LINING.
