Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good. That honour, courage and virtue mean everything; that power and money ... money and power mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil. And I want you to remember this.... that love....true love never dies ! Remember that, boy ... remember that. Doesn’t matter if it is true or not, a man should believe in those things because those are the things worth believing in...... got that ? . . . Hub McCann, Second-Hand Lions
In Texas, they don’t worry much, about things they can’t control . . . Jerry Jeff Walker (Keep Texas Beautiful)
And you still can hear me singing to the people who don’t listen to the things that I am saying, praying someone’s going to hear; And I guess I’ll die explaining how the things that they complain about are things they could be changing, hoping someone’s goin’ to care . . . Kris Kristofferson (To Beat the Devil)
If you want to become the best runner you can be, start now. Don’t spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it . . . Priscilla Welch (running legend, author)
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint . . . Isaiah 40: 29-31 (a perfect prayer for old guys wanting to run)
And from me:
Screw credit before it screws you.
Best advice ever: treat everyone as if they have WIFM written on their forehead -- 'what's in it for me?'
Stand up straight. Be tall (there’s nothing better than being tall).
Come up with solutions, not problems or excuses. Find a way to get it done.
Be a leader. People need someone to step up to the plate.
Chew with your mouth closed.
