If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done.

Quote of the Day If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done. ~unknown~ |
In life, we often choose to travel journeys that call us to reach
into the depths of our soul, and reach out to our truest of friends.
And now, one of our journeys is coming to an end. When my future was at
its bleekest, I often wondered what reward do I expect to get from my
turmoil, but now I have realized that along with the forging of great
friends, the journey was our reward.
~Robert Angelus~
THE DILEMMA: " To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose your feelings is to risk rejection. To place you dreams before a crowd is to risk ridicule. To go forward against overwhelming odds is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, or love. Only a person who risks is free."
When a soldier was injured, and could not get back to safety, his buddy went out to get him against his officer's orders.
He returned mortally wounded, and his friend, who he carried back, was dead. The officer was angry, "I told you not to go," he said. "Now I've lost both of you, it was not worth it." The dying man replied, "but it was, Sir, because when I got to him he said 'Jim, I knew you'd come.'"

A Champion is not just a champion when he stands victorious upon the fields of strife. He is a champion every day, always striving to make himself better. The limits placed upon one's self are the only limits in between victory and defeat.
