Something to think about.....

There is a real difference between being "involved" and being "committed".  Look at a typical breakfest of ham and eggs.  The CHICKEN was involved but the PIG was COMMITTED!

Do not trade what you want most for what you want most at the moment.

Talk doesn't cook rice...Chinese proverb

“I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.”  Mia Hamm

Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit: team, team, team - no one more important that the other."  Coach Norman Dale-  "Hoosiers"

If you think you are important, stick your finger in a glass of water.  Pull it out. See how big a hole it leaves."    Lou Holtz
