"My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories." This was the statement of Bjorn Borg, tennis legend. Benjamin Franklin put it another way saying "Energy and persistence conquer all things." Pretty fancy quotes huh? For the record, I hope to God they are true because I sure as hell believe them. Again and again the matter of persistence comes up when it discussing any type of success, specifically in athletics. For instance, there is the fact that Micheal Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He attributes his later success to his persistent effort to improve no matter the opinion of anyone else. I feel that there is something to be said for taking steps in the right direction each day, steps toward constantly improving. Let's take some good positive steps today! Alright, that may be a little too Dr. Phil for my liking. Why don't we just go out and keep kicking ass!


Enjoy!
