When you do something young enough and you train for it, it just becomes a part of you.

If you can find an opening, you can probably find a way to float through it.

People are more important than things.

The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures. The person who knows only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.

Read at least one book a month. This is self-serving, obviously. It's a proven fact that people who read buy more books than people who don't read. In truth, I wish you'd read ten books a month, or at least buy that many.

And even though I did not reach the National Football League, I sometimes think I got more from pursuing that dream, and not accomplishing it, than I did from many of the ones I did accomplish.

I always thought every day was a gift, but now I am looking for where to send the thank you note.
