Who dares doubt tte Great Gretzky?

 

[vergs]

"The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they’re still alive."

"Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise; risking more than others think is safe. Dreaming more than others think is practical and expecting more than others think is possible."

"The family is a harbor of safety in an ocean of change. It is an association established in nature and guided by enduring principles of fellowship. It is where we first learn our potential and face our responsibilities. In this kinship we find the strength to swim together and, eventually, the courage to swim apart."

"True leaders are not those who strive to be first but those who are first to strive and who give their all for the success of the team. True leaders are first to see the need, envision the plan, and empower the team for action. By the strength of the leader's commitment, the power of the team is unleashed."

"Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right in the eye and says, 'Give me your best shot. I can take it.'"
