Sayings about football games

Attitude determines how well you do it. We pull the strings of the catastrophe, so we can also save ourselves simply by changing our lives. What is really hard for us at least in the West to accept is that we are reduced to the role of a passive observer who sits and watches what our fate will be. To avoid this impotence, we engage in frantic, obsessive activities.

We recycle old paper, we buy organic food, we install long-lasting light bulbs—whatever—just so we can be sure that we are doing something. We make our individual contribution like the soccer fan who supports his team in front of a TV screen at home, shouting and jumping from his seat, in the belief that this will somehow influence the game's outcome. Your motivation determines how much you are willing to do. Your attitude determines how well you do it. Like the defense on a football field, putting all focus on evading only one defender is asking to be blindsided.

I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that. They call it football. I find its an exciting strategic game. Its a great way to avoid conversation with your family at Thanksgiving. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas, and like those holidays beyond their meaning, a factor in our economy. Because a football game is just sixty minutes, but I'm training six, seven hours in every day. So, going for sixty minutes becomes easy.

More importantly, I think that your muscles mature and can move in all different directions. I love sporting events and popcorn and pizza and being outside, like at a baseball or football game. I love amusement parks, going to ride roller coasters. A single Dallas Cowboys football game uses up as much electricity as the entire nation of Liberia in those same three hours - one reason the globe, if looked at from a certain height, is a cluster of lights surrounded by enormous patches of dark.

Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. Be a winner. Stand for something.

Always have class, and be humble. It's the will to prepare to win that matters. When you're great at something, they'll tell you. Updated September 01,
