Life is like a tennis game. You can't win without serving.

Later, I discovered there was a lot of work to being good in tennis.

You really are never playing an opponent. You are playing yourself.

Throughout my formal education I spent many, many hours in public and school libraries. Libraries became courts of last resort, as it were. The current definitive answer to almost any question can be found within the four walls of most libraries.

If you're paid before you walk on the court, what's the point in playing as if your life depended on it?

Fear isn't an excuse to come to a standstill. It's the impetus to step up and strike.
