“Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence.
The extra energy required to make another effort
or try another approach is the secret of winning.”
“I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career.
I have lost almost 300 games.
On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and I missed.
I have failed over and over and over again in my life.
And thats precisely why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan (born 1963);
Retired Professional Basketball Player
“Your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing.”

Excellence can be attained if you care more than others think is wise,
risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical,
and expect more than others think is possible.
Excellence in any pursuit is the late, ripe fruit of toil
NUTTIN' WORTH ANYTHING COMES EASY
YOU GOTTA WORK FOR IT !

“I don’t stop when I’m tired, I stop when I’m done.”
It’s been said that most people fail in life because
they give up 3 feet from the finish line,
never realizing how close they were to victory.

The Miracle Mile
ROGER BANNISTER AND JOHN LANDY
AUGUST 7, 1954 – EMPIRE STADIUM
VANCOUVER, CANADA
The Race
On August 7, 1954 during the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Vancouver, B.C., England’s Roger Bannister and Australian John Landy met for the first time in the one mile run at the newly constructed Empire Stadium. Both men had broken the four minute barrier previously that year. Bannister was the first to break the mark with a time of 3:59.4 on May 6th in Oxford, England. Subsequently, on June 21st in Turku, Finland, John Landy became the new record holder with an official time of 3:58.
The world watched eagerly as both men approached the starting blocks. As 35,000 enthusiastic fans looked on, no one knew what would take place on that historic day. Promoted as “The Mile of the Century”, it would later be known as the “Miracle Mile”.
With only 90 yards to go in one of the world’s most memorable races, John Landy glanced over his left shoulder to check his opponent’s position. At that instant Bannister streaked by him to victory in a commonwealth record time of 3:58.8. Landy’s second place finish in 3:59.6 marked the first time the four minute mile had been broken by two men in the same race.
Such exhilarating events are common in sports but few are captured so dramatically. A moment that took only a fraction of a second was frozen in time forever.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues,
because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently.
You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
COURAGE IF FEELING THE FEAR BUT DOIN IT ANYWAY
"Come to the edge," She said.
They said, "We are afraid."
"Come to the edge," She said.
They came.
She pushed them...
and they flew.

Freedom lies in being bold.

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become.
Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be;
your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil
Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams.
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Success is the peace of mind you get in knowing that
you did everything in your power to be at your absolute best !
Magnificent things happen when you set the sky as your limit.
Virtually anything is possible with hard work, courage a
nd staying true to yourself.
Don't quit before the miracle !
The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you,
who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau,
sometimes with a sharp stick called truth

happy birthday Mom
There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say,
"Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams."
Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there.
These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box.
It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line,
to hold them up and say, "How good or how bad am I?"
That's where courage comes in.
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions.
All life is an experiment.
The more experiments you make the better.
What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn?
What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice.
Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To believe is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
"If we don't change, we don't grow.
If we don't grow, we aren't really living."

It was character that got us out of bed,
commitment that moved us into action,
and discipline that enabled us to follow through
It is not the critic that counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles
or the doer of deeds could have them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the Arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but he who does actually strive to do the deed;
who knows the great devotion;
who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly,
knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls,
who know neither victory nor defeat.
JUST FRIGGIN' DO IT !
