Failure isn’t fatal unless you let it be.
Not really, and actually my cholesterol was 190 when I had the heart attack. 190, which isn’t that high. I took it down to about 130 and it’s probably about 140 or 145 now.
Eating properly is great. I mean you cut the fat down, cut the cholesterol out, but still you got to get your rest and you got to have some form of exercise.
Success is about taking advantage of opportunity.
I’m not a mean player. You’ll notice I never pick on a player who has a number above 30.

Success is about having. Excellence is about Being!
Life’s not about money. Look at achievements, accomplishments. It’s about having fun. It’s about enjoying life.

I do some weights and I do a lot of stretching.
People want a cop-out, listen I’m a realist and I talk about motivation, talk about all the things it takes to be greater or are important to win and people want to use excuses all the time.
Some people are willing to pay the price and it’s the same with staying healthy or eating healthy. There’s some discipline involved. There’s some sacrifices.
It’s your body and you’re going to have a much better life, you are going to have a quality life, better lifestyle, you’re going to be healthier, you’re going to be happier, you’re going to enjoy the people around you and they’re going to enjoy you more.
What you feel spiritually. I think a lot of that has to do with it. If you have no spiritual life, chances are everything is going to aggravate you, you’re going to fly off the handle at everything and that’s what I did in the past. I’ve kind of got that under control now.
