If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.
Nothing can happen if it's not first a dream. If you have someone with a dream, if you have a motivated person with a goal and a vision, if you have someone that never gives up, who has great hope, Anything can happen.
Take time every day to laugh, to think, to cry.

We need your help. I need your help. We need money for research. It may not save my life. It may save my children's life. It may save someone you love. And it's very important.
Each day, be sure to laugh, to think, to cry; that's one heckuva full day.
Every day ordinary people do extra-ordinary things!

Never give up. . . never ever give up.
Other people go to the office. I get to coach. I know I've been blessed.
