Let's Plant Small Seeds for the Kingdom

We are attracted to things that are the largest, strongest and fastest. Every two years, the world turns its attention to the Olympics to determine who are the fastest and most skilled in numerous sports. Countries vie to boast the tallest building in the world, currently recognized as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai at 829.8 meters.
