Frances Tiafoe after beating Taylor Fritz to win title in Halle:
"I just want to say one of my favorite scriptures, Romans 8:18. 'The pain that you've been feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming.' That proves very very true. A few weeks ago had one of the toughest losses of my career at the French Open. To be able to come back and have a good week here and win my biggest title, beating players that I did. It's a huge testimony to that quote. It's something I've been living by... all glory to god." ❤
My father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer at 62. The oncologist gave him six months, maybe a year with aggressive treatment.
Dad looked at the scan, looked at the doctor, and said, “What happens if I do nothing?”
“You’ll be comfortable. Hospice can manage the pain. But… six months, maybe less.”
My dad decided against treatment. He said, “I’m not spending my last months poisoning myself. I want to feel like me for as long as I can.”
He quit his job. Sold his house. Bought an RV. He and my mom drove across the country visiting every national park they’d ever talked about seeing.
We called every week expecting bad news. Weeks turned into months. Six months passed. Then a year.
At the 18-month mark, he went back for a scan because he was actually feeling better. His cough was gone. He’d gained weight.
The scan showed the tumor had shrunk by 60%. No treatment. Just… shrunk.
The doctors couldn’t explain it. They used words like “spontaneous regression” and “anomaly.”
My dad lived another seven years. He died at 69—not from cancer, but from a heart attack while hiking in Yosemite.
He told me once, “Maybe the cancer went away because I stopped being afraid of it. Or maybe I was just lucky. Either way, I got seven extra years I wasn’t supposed to have.”

Lamont Butler is the prime example of what the transfer portal should look like. Play your entire career at a school, and become a legend there. Then, for a graduate year go somewhere else, in his case, the highest level of college basketball for one year.
Lamont is a legend at San Diego State and Kentucky and both fanbases love him so much for what he did at each school!

Russell Wilson was asked about his future in the NFL:
"My favorite scripture is Matthew 6:33. It's my life philosophy, I would say. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added on to you. Verse 34 says don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow has enough worries in itself.
That really came from when I was in a tough position when I was trying to play football, do I play baseball? My dad was on his deathbed, a lot going on. Didn't know what to choose. Didn't know what to do. Had two gifts in my hand, I've got all these great things going on, but I also had this tough decision about life and what do I do and this and that."
depression is contagious, ugliness is contagious, habits are contagious, even discipline is
almost all behaviors are
that’s why the most important thing you can do is be very careful who you surround yourself with
no matter the relationship you have with someone, if they are sad or ugly or a person you wouldn’t want to be like, avoid them.
This is one of the most spectacular grand slams you’ll ever see. The swing, the reaction, everything.
