    “Basketball Rule #1

    In this game of life
    your family is the court
    and the ball is your heart.
    No matter how good you are,
    no matter how down you get,
    always leave
    your heart
    on the court.”

    Kwame Alexander

    Never let anyone
    lower your goals.

    of life.

    Always shoot
    for the sun
    and you will shine.”

    Viktor E. Frankl

    Viktor E. Frankl
    “Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

    Viktor E. Frankl
    “So live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!”
