The Only Victory That Counts

People Who Worked With Me Or Knew Me Still Called Me The 'world's Fastest Human' Because I Almost Never Stopped. I'd Found That I Could Get More Done With No Regular Job Or Regular Hours At All, But By Being On My Own, Flying To Speak Here, Help With A Public Relations Campaign For Some Client There, Tape My Regular Jazz Radio Show One Morning At 5:00 A.m. Before Leaving On A Plane For Another City Or Another Continent Three Hours Later To Preside Over A Major Sporting Event.

The Lives Of Most Men Are Patchwork Quilts. Or At Best One Matching Outfit With A Closet And Laundry Bag Full Of Incongruous Accumulations. A Lifetime Of Training For Just Ten Seconds.

One Chance Is All You Need.

Championships Are Mythical. The Real Champions Are Those Who Live Through What They Are Taught In Their Homes And Churches. The Attitude That 'we've Got To Win' In Sports Must Be Changed. Teach Your Youngsters, Who Are The Future Hope Of America, The Importance Of Love, Respect, Dedication, Determination, Self-sacrifice, Self-discipline And Good Attitude. That's The Road Up The Ladder To The Championships.

Life Doesn't Give You All The Practice Races You Need.
