William's Story

William is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. William's schools include Sewickley Academy. William later attended Elon University, Elon Alum (Accounting) . One of William's favorite quotes is:""We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit." Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. "20%....My Man" -Frank Lucas "I'm just a duck on the pond" -Enemy of the State "False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil." -Plato "A leader is like a shepherd - Sends the fast nimble sheep out front,and the others follow as the shepherd walks quietly behind - He's got the stick - the cane - and he'll use if he has to. But most of the time he doesn't have to. He moves the whole herd - quietly." -AG - A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one. The grandson asked him, Which wolf will win the fight in your heart? The grandfather answered, The one I feed. "Through disastisfied interaction with others, we at least gain knowledge of what qualities we dont want to see in ourselves." - Kellistotle “If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.” "...Expand for more
The observer, when he seems to himself to be observing a stone, is really, if physics is to be believed, observing the effects of the stone upon himself." ~Bertrand Russell "You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them. " -MJ "“Tiger, I am more prone to be inquisitive, to promote discussion. I want to find out what your thinking was; I want to find out what your feelings are; And, did you learn anything?.” -Earl Woods "In every game and con there's always an opponent, and there's always a victim. The trick is to know when you're the latter, so you can become the former." "The reason I talk to myself is that I'm the only one whose answers I accept." -George Carlin "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." -Albert Einstein "The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?" ~Chuang Tzu".
