Quote Of The Moment


Don't listen to those who say, 'You're taking too big a chance.' Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor, and it would surely be rubbed out by today

So I did not make the team

I was a little down and then today I read a quote by 'Randy Pausch'

'We can't change the cards we're dealt, just how to play the hand'. --Randy Pausch

Then I looked him up and now I ask you to take the time to watch this You Tube Lecture. Yeah its 76 mins and you claim not to have the time. It might just change your life like it did mine.



So I close with this quote again from Randy Pausch

"Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted…. I probably got more from that dream [of playing professional football] and not accomplishing it than I got from any of the ones that I did accomplish." Randy Pausch

Thanks for reading my blog

  5. It's so crazy that I stopped by your page today! I just went and bought Randy's book today! I saw the special on ABC last night about his lecture, life, and recent death. A celebration of life is what I learned from Randy! Thank you for sharing this. I know it has probably been a whirlwind of emotions passing through you, but it's really okay that you didn't make the team. You're a talented individual who will do great things in this world...and that's all that matters!!
