Even though Jamaican runner Usain Bolt is getting a lot of flak for being too cocky (and ripping into US legend Carl Lewis), I do admire how confident he is in himself when it's not at someone else's expense.
I mean, how can you aspire to great feats if you doubt yourself? Bolt has earned himself the title of fastest man in the world, so he almost seems deserving of his personal accolades. Want to feel great about yourself? Repeat the following Usain Bolt quotes to yourself!
The crowd went wild as Usain Bolt, also known as the fastest man in the world, left his competitors in the dust during the 100-meter race this past Sunday at the London Olympics. There's something about the Jamaican sprinter's confident swagger that seems to charm crowds instead of turning them off, which makes him a perfect gold mine for corporate sponsors.
Guess how much one of the world's most famous athletes made last year!

Prince Harry put on sweats for a day on the track at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica this afternoon. He raced against Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, but it looked like the guys were more interested in having fun than actually competing. Usain said of losing to Harry, "He cheated, I said we would have a rematch in London 2012 and Harry said 'I'm busy.' He's cool, very down to earth. When you meet dignitaries you think it will be difficult but he just wanted to laugh. It was an honor and a pleasure to meet him." Harry has been on the go since last week when he popped up in Belize to kick off his tour in honor of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Harry has also already made appearances in the Bahamas, where he spoke at a youth rally and visited with children.
Remember watching Usain Bolt coast to the finish line and still win the gold medal in the 100 meter race in Beijing last Summer? Did you wonder how fast he really can run?
Well, he raced this weekend and answered the question. This time he didn't let off the gas until he crossed the finish line and broke the world record. Bolt, who seems so aptly named, ran the 100 meters in 9.58 seconds, breaking his previous record set at the Olympics of 9.69 seconds.
