Venus Williams wins Wimbledon

The women's Wimbledon final has been played after a fortnight of upsets over the top seeds. The Williams' sisters have once again stepped up when in counts - in Grand Slam competition. Some detractors see this as a sleight on the quality of women's tennis - that someone who pays more attention to fashion and media opportunities can turn-up to a major competition and still make the final and win.
The Telegraph (UK) argues that this supports why women should not get equal pay as men's tennis. Their argument reflecting not only the discrepancy in number of sets played, but how difficult it is to win the respective championships. The latter being highly subjective.
In the corporate world, there is never any argument that the intensity of work/labour is in direct proportion to the amount of earnings. In fact it is quite the opposite. In the corporate world, he/she who works "SMARTER" rather than harder, is the one earning the big dollars.
Venus and Serena Williams exhibit, what I consider, a healthy belief that their life can be balanced between success on the court and off the court. They believe they can win without tormenting their body with week after week on the tour. That is smart and those who object could perhaps look at their own belief patterns to ask themselves, why is it wrong? What do you think?
