"Moments are what shape and define our lives; they determine who and where we are today, where we want to go in the future. Through relationships or life, the moments define what kind of person or friends you want in your life. It's the moments that you win or lose, the moments that someone makes you feel happy or sad, the moments, the pictures, vacations, events, the encounters that you will always remember, the unforgettable 1st's that you remember & sometimes hold on to forever, they are all moments. Live for the one moment upon you, for it can change your life forever so make the best of it. Life is short, so don't go another day, hour or minute and regret a moment that could have changed your life!"

"Losing a game is worthwhile only when you realize why you have lost the game."

This is something I do to analyze myself every time I lose so that I don't have to lose for the same reason again. If I don't, losing will become a habit.

"I have had players who are good, and know they are good; I have had players who are bad and know they are bad; I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good; I have had players who are bad, but who don't know they are bad. It is this last group that has won more games for me than the first three groups combined."

"My progress may be slower than others because of this tendency, but at least I haven't given up.

"No one keeps up his enthusiasm automatically. Enthusiasm must be nourished with new actions, new aspirations, new efforts, new vision. Compete with yourself; set your teeth and dive into the job of breaking your own record. It is one's own fault if his enthusiasm is gone; he has failed to feed it."
Papyrus --- Submitted by Lauren Covington --- New Jersey
