Beckham Booted: The Summer Olympics are right around the corner and teams all over the world are putting together their rosters for what they are hoping to be Gold medal material. Great Britain put out a surprising announcement that 37-year-old London native and female favorite, David Beckham, would not be joining the team this Summer. The announcement came as quite the surprise because Beckham was the one who petitioned for the Olympics to make it to London and also carried the torch from Athens. Naturally, the athlete is disappointed, but is still very supportive of his team. Great Britain is hoping to give Beckham a special position off the field because he remains the face of the London Olympics.
Early Bird Gets the Worm: Give yourselves a pat on the back if you’re an early riser because studies show that you are happier, healthier and more prone to success in your job.
