"Life is about learning how to play the cards you are dealt, not asking for a new hand"


I heard this the other day, not sure who really said it. Not sure whether I agree or not, but I thought about it for quite awhile

I don't fully agree with it either. There are nothing but opportunities surrounding us. Maybe when that quote was first relevant a generation or two ago, life's situations were immutable and you basically had to accept things for what they were. There are more freedoms today and naturally the Internet has opened the door to a multitude of possibilities.

To the fans and everybody in Gator nation, I'm sorry.
I'm extremely sorry.
We were hoping for an undefeated season.
That was my goal, something Florida has never done here.

I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this.
You will never see any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the season.
You will never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season.

You will never see a team play harder than we will the rest of the season.
God bless.

-Tim Tebow

Seeing how most of my quotes come from football players and coaches (albeit great ones), I have come to the conclusion that I am not well-read enough.

I'm not sure who said it but:

"In life, we don't get what we deserve, only what we negotiate"

The older and more experienced I get, the more it makes sense

It's not just the words, but the way he delivered it sealed the deal to me as a powerful quote.

Smart men learn from their mistakes. Wise men learn from the mistakes of others.

I don't know who said it, but I dig it.
