Ah, but here is where the qualifiers come in on genetic talent. What my quote really means is anyone can be a dedicated athlete if they want to be. What kind of times they will achieve in any given event is a separate issue, but they can always work as hard as possible:)
I love you man! :-)
But your quote/tag line - as written, drives me a little nuts.
That said, world peace is not at stake; and, I don't loose sleep over it. -_-
Do you like my tag line??? (I think you have to be "old" like me, to "get" it)
Ya, i have had to explain my tag line a few times but i just think it is a really cool concept. I used to be a very literal kind of guy but i've gotten past that point. As a sidebar, there is an interesting story about where that quote came from as i can not take the credit myself. The quote comes from the girl who was the first woman ever to win the world billiards championship, back around 1999-ish, and not only was she a she but she was also only around 4'11" tall, so she was literally dwarfed by all of competitors, yet she stayed focused and made history. I don't normally follow pool tournaments per se but this was just some random
Sports Illustrated article that i ran across, and that quote has stuck in my mind ever since. For many years I had it printed in giant letters on my refrigerator door:)
As for your tag line, certainly i've seen
Caddyshack but
TBH I don't remember that line from the movie. I thought it was pretty good but it isn't a movie that i've ever felt the desire to see a 2nd time. Sorry:)
