Quote or phrase of the day

Just watched 'Survive and Advance' from ESPN's 30 for 30 series. It's about a basketball coach named Jim Valvano and how he inspired his team to one of the biggest upset wins in college basketball history in 1983, taking out that year's national championship.

 

A quote from the man, at which time he only had 8 weeks left to live due to cancer ravaging his body:

 

'To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy.

 

But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.'

 

Great quote.

That is a boss quote. But not sure about the crying. Crying is not acceptable every day for guys.

“We’re going to win because we don’t understand politics. We’re going to win because we don’t play their dirty games. We’re going to win because we don’t have an agenda. We’re going to win because the tears that comes from our eyes actually come from our hearts. We’re going to win because we have dreams. We’re going to win because we are willing to stand up for our dreams…."
