Mount Calvary is the academy of love.
You get into feeling like you are in a zone. You can't be stopped. It's a good feeling but it never lasts.
You can do more, you can always do more.
The will to prepare, the guts to risk, and the desire to be the best. These are trademarks of champions.
Leadership comes by the example you set through your work. It begins from the way you are perceived as a worker and the respect that comes with it.
The scoreboard can't make you a loser. If you walk off the field with your head up, you don't lose. You don't hang your head for nobody. People in the stands think you're the greatest or the worst - their opinion doesn't make a difference. The only opinion that makes any difference is your own opinion of yourself.
You have to feel you're the best at what you do. You don't have to come out and say it. But you have to know it within yourself.

I have no problem with a war for oil-if we accompany it with a real program for energy conservation. But when we tell the world we couldn't care less about climate change, that we feel entitled to drive whatever big cars we feel like, that we feel entitled to consume however much oil we like, the message we send is that a war for oil in the gulf is not a war to protect the world's right to economic survival-but our right to indulge. Now that will be seen as immoral.
The grave is still the best shelter against the storms of destiny.
