ize. Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, but soon or late the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. - Arnold Palmer Wait for the guy who calls you beautiful, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lye under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you fall asleep. Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup, the one who always reminds you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you. The one who turns to his friends and says 'that's her'.." Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game. "All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES." The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.".
