With the new iPhone being unveiled tomorrow, I thought it interesting to think back. Remember your first cell phone? Mine was after Linds and I got married. I had a friend who rocked a bag phone in college! Now, only 12 years after that bag phone, the iPhone 5 is coming. This phone will have estimated 64gb of hard drive space, an 8mb camera, Internet access at near 4g speeds, and all in a case that is the size of a box of playing cards.

So, what is my point? Evolution. The features, power, and speed of this new phone more than doubles that of the full size desktop computer I used in college. This is a lot like our bodies. Last October, I decided to complete my first triathlon in March of this year. I took my first stroke in the pool in November and was winded after 25 yards. My last swim I went just over 2,000 yards. This also works in reverse as well. How often have you been good at something that you have not tried in a while and you sucked at it? The first thing that comes to mind is my golf game.

You always hear that everyone starts somewhere, and the first step is the hardest. I agree somewhat. I believe that the second, third, and four step are the hardest. Just ask Atari, Myspace, and Clearly Canadian. Starting can be easy and exciting, but staying in the game keeps you improving. Apple knows this well. I need to follow their lead and take the next step in my training tomorrow.

P.S. If you see me on the road riding, please don't hit me!
