I've never run into a guy who could win at the top level in anything today and didn't have the right attitude didn't give it everything he had at least while he was doing it wasn't prepared and didn't have the whole program worked out.
Today's youth are told to get rich or die trying and they really shouldn't take that attitude forward with them.
Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.

My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of 'Oh God I've got to do this today.'
Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.
Abstract Expressionism - the first American movement to have a worldwide influence - was remarkably short-lived: It heated up after World War II and was all but done for by 1960 (although visit any art school today and you'll find a would-be Willem de Kooning).
Since obscenity is the truth of our passion today it is the only stuff of art - or almost the only stuff.
I don't think any movie or any book or any work of art can solve the stalemate in the Middle East today. But it's certainly worth a try.

The bungalow had more to do with how Americans live today than any other building that has gone remotely by the name of architecture in our history.
Both the Obama and Romney campaigns said they pulled all their political ads today in observance of the September 11th anniversary. But politics wasn't very far offstage. The Obama campaign sees foreign policy as an advantage this year.
Mr. Speaker I rise today to recognize the Peace Corps as it reached its 45th anniversary on March 1 2006.
Last week the House of Representatives passed a resolution honoring the victims and heroes of September 11th. As we commemorate the anniversary of 9-11 we must also remember that the threat is still very real today.
You will reciprocally promise love loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today before God you formulate.

It's amazing to me that in the 42 years since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law women today still receive fewer wages than men for the same work.
