"Muhammad Ali who said, "If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough."" - Clint Hurdle in "Hurdle-isms: Wit and Wisdom from a Lifetime in Baseball"
When surveying people about their lives, most regrets aren't about what they did, but what they didn't do.
Robert Browning wrote, "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for?"
Athletes all have dreams. Sometimes it's making the team. Other times it's becoming a professional 'star'. When thinking about dreams, you might think about these:
- “Some people dream of success, while others wake up and work hard at it.”
— Vince Lombardi - “A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.”
— John Barrymore - Match your work to your dreams. Big dreams, big work.
- “Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.”
— James Dean - “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt - “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.”
— Colin Powell - “The vision of a champion is someone bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion — when no one else is watching.”
— Anson Dorrance, UNC women’s soccer coach - “I am living proof that dreams do come true. Work hard. Pray. Believe.” — LeBron James
- “Dreams are free. Hustle sold separately.”
— Anonymous locker room sign
Dreams are like ordering off the Indian food menu...
