MOTIVATIONAL & POSITIVE QUOTES
" Players (Workers, Children) know they are important, not when you tell them they are, but when at important times you play them."
Mike Babcock (Coach of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks) --- Submitted by Bob Holbrook --- California
I saw this quote in action. One Mighty Duck player made a mistake that cost the team a goal. He was back on the ice the next shift and made up for his mistake by being in position to score a goal.

" Others as much they try,
As much they try to put you to misery
Keep your head up
Be positive and work hard
And you will go down in the history...."

This quote is on my wall. By going to the gym, and educating myself through magazine articles and tv shows, I now weigh 190 pounds. In 1999, I weighed 295 pounds. I am now an inspiration to smokers and overweight people. I never thought a shy, modest guy like myself would ever become an "inspiration"...but it feels kinda cool.

" Life is simply what you make it, never compromise what you believe in for anyone. Live your life to the fullest, always believe that you can be whatever you want to be. If you find something in life that you love, stick with it; don't give it up! Last but not least, don't let anyone steal your joy because it's your and it belongs to you."
