There are so many people afraid of a task. They get so overwhelmed by the obstacles in front of them that they shy away from reaching beyond a position of safety.

I went to Moorehouse College. There was no track and field there.

I always got my work done before playing.

The joint lubrication was not what it was when I was competing, and I decided that not having arthritis or rheumatism for the rest of my life was a lot more important to me than returning to the track.

I wanted to go to medical school. But, I never got a college scholarship.
