QUOTE OF THE DAY

"I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win--if you don't, you won't." -- Bruce Jenner, Olympic Gold Medalist, Decathlon

"Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are." -- John Wooden

As some of you may know my son is a professional mixed martial arts fighter as well as a martial arts teacher. A bit of sad news from his fight in Montreal last night - the winner of this fight was to fight for the Canadian championship -- unfortunately he lost in the 2nd round by TKO - only his second defeat - more importantly though he is okay physically - and mentally he is strong enough to come back if that is what he wants.
This is the motivation behind today's 2nd quote ---"your character is what you really are - your reputation is merely what others think you are" --David, you have a ton of character -- in the end, what else matters --- it is the journey, my son, not the destination that counts. We love you David - stay safe, stay positive - a parent's love is UNCONDITIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
