JW -Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least. Johann van Goethe

JM – You have the right to remain silent…..BPD

JS – What day is today? And where am I supposed to be?

KJ – There are two types of people. Those who make commitments and those who keep them. John Adams

EB – I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious. – Vince Lombardi

JD – The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price. – Vince Lombardi

Since Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday, I thought I would send out a Vince Lombardi quote (and EB was out so you get an extra one).

For those of you who don’t know, Lombardi’s name is so synonymous with winning that the trophy taken home by the winning team on Super Bowl Sunday is named the Lombardi Trophy.

He was known as being a hard-nosed, hard-working winner. Today, people use words like “old-school” to describe someone like him.

Personally, I try to remind myself to look back at some of these “old” values exhibited by men like Vince Lombardi and build them into myself and my family.

The generations before us weren’t perfect, but they sure can teach us a lot if we listen.

One last thought about the Super Bowl. Every year when I watch the Super Bowl I think about how amazing it is that there are SOOOOOOOOOO many people around the world watching it.

And it all started with an idea, it began as a thought and grew into a dream and that dream grew into a bigger dream and here we are. Proof positive that anything can be accomplished and that thoughts and dreams can be turned into a reality.

Have a great weekend.
