Facing challenges

No matter how ordinary a male animal is,
He has a right which no one can deny it of.
That is..
The rights to challenge the leader of the pack.
Will you use this rights?
Or will you forsake it?
You will have to make the choice.
Challenge yourself. Challenge the best in the field. We all have the rights to do it.

-Hiruma Yoichi, Eyeshield 21-


Will you rise to the top and challenge someone of superior abilities? Or will you be a follower forever?

When a man bleeds freely for the sake of others, it's only proper to pretend that you never saw it.

-Musashi, Eyeshield 21-

Courage2

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson-


Be brave and win in anything you do!

Courage

Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.

-Margaret Chase Smith-


Courage is what everyone is born with. Use it wisely at the right time!

Failure isn't the end

Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.

-Barrack Obama-

If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother.

-Bo Jackson, RB of LA Raiders-


Never let anything stop you from reaching your goals. Even your mother!

Quite true

Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose that counts,' probably lost.

-Martina Navratilova, American Tennis Player-


So give your best and win in whatever you do!

Darrell Royal's letter

You should all ask yourself what do you feel when you are defeated. Are you blaming others, feeling depressed, or are you feel with passion, ready to take the challenge again.

All those of you who has played on the field will have tasted defeat, there's no player who has not lost before, however the best players, as a tribute to all their efforts, will give everything they've got to stand up again, the ordinary players will take them a while to get back on their feet,
while the losers will remain flat on the field. 

Do not be ashamed about being defeated. To be defeated and to not stand up is what you should be ashamed of.

-University of Texas Longhorn Head coach, Darrell Royal-
