Together like one!
Z rojstvom, s trenutkom, ko prvic zadihamo do konca nascga zivljenja, je nase bivanje podvrzeno boju za obstanek. Bojujemo se za veljavo, ugled, polozaj v okolici, lastno sreco. Tekmovalnost v razlicnih cloveskih dejavnostih has spremlja celo zivljenje, ki pa na nas v pravilni meri lahko pozitivno vpliva. V nasprotnem primeru, pa se lahko zabrisejo meje pozitivnosi nasega delovanja, zelja po zmagi, vrhu nas obsede in tudi kmalu pokopjle. Midve slediva zdravemu sportnemu duhu, hajin cilj ni izkljucno medal ja okoli vratu, v gimnastiki uzivava, prinasa nama zadovoljstvo. Zavedava se, da zahteva sport poleg zdravega telesa tudi zdravo duso in pozitivno misljenje. Zato nama bo uspelo!

From birth on, from the moment we breathe for the first time and to the end of our life, our existence is subject to a struggle for survival. We fight for respect, reputation, for our place in this world, for our own happiness. Competition in various human activities which accompanies us throughout our life is always positive for us as long as it comes in the right portions. On the contrary, if it does not- our positive activities begin to fade and we become obsessed by the wish of the victory, for reaching the top, which is no good and we are finally buried underneath. The two of us are following the healthy sport spirit, our aim is not exclusively just a medal round the neck, but we enjoy gymnastics and it brings us lots of satisfaction. We are aware of the fact that sport demands not just a healthy body but also a healthy soul and positive thinking. That is why we are going to succeed!

I am hoping to see Atlanta from up here!
Vedno vise tezimo. Cilji, ki si jih zastavljamo v zivljenju so vedno zahtevnejsi, nezagotovljeni. Zato se borimo in vzpenjamo mse mise, mrha ne dosezemo nikoli, lahko pa nam uspe, da nam ne zmanjkuje opore pod nogami in nismo zrtev padca na nizjo, ze prch ojeno pot. Ob pozitivni energiji vsakemu padcu sledi uzpon, katerega vrednost cenimo toliko bolj, ravno rardi njegove teze dosegljivosti. Vstrajnost in predvsem zelje nas zenejo naprej. Zivljenje prepleteno z novimi izzivi nas vzposdbuja in hromi. Lzrazim o mu hvalcznost z ljubeznijo do zivljenja in zdravim duhom v zdravem telesu. Zavedajmo se pomembnosti vpliva vsakega individuuma no okolico.

We are reaching higher and higher. The aims we are setting for ourselves in life are ever more and more demanding and insecure. That is why we have to fight to reach for more although we can never reach the top. However, we my succeed if there is always enough support for our feet and we do not fall on the already trodden path. Nevertheless, with positive energy, every fall is followed by an ascent, which is then esteemed even more as it is so difficult to achieve it again. Persistence and wishes push us forward. Life , interwoven with new challenges, both simulates and paralyses us. Let's be grateful to our life and let's express our gratefulness to it by our love of life and by a healthy spirit in a healthy body. Let's be aware of the importance of the individuals and their influence on their surroundings.
