"Too often we are scared. Scared of what
we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if
we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no
when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream.
And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths
shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really
no time to be afraid. Just do it." -Nike Ad
- "The only one who can tell you 'you can't' is you. And you don't have to
listen."

- To be a concert pianist, you need a
tuxedo, a grand piano, a top notch agent, and many other things, but it's
all a waste without technique. You have to be able to play piano.
Similarly, you need knowledge of the game, tactics, etc., but it's all a
waste if you can't control the ball. Technique, technique, technique.
