Striving to be a Passionate Realist

[Joshua Shuman @JShumanTV]

A bold strategy pays off as Eastland knocks off the 1A favorites Pecatonica 36-31.

Amidst the high atmosphere, the Cougars won the tip and held the ball for the game's first seven minutes. They continued to play cautiously, picking their moments to score. After falling to Pecatonica in last year's sectional title and two regular season losses this year, it's now avenged. Here's the reaction and why they went with that game plan.

@markdavidhansn He talks about accountability, for everyone else not for themselves. Their approach is to shift the blame to the point of distraction which covers up their own incompetence.

Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person.

My nephew Matthew, now a @Georgetown sophomore, shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. My nephew has searched online and has found nothing similar so believes it not to be a "form letter." It's a beautiful precis on how to live a life of service.

February 11, 2019

To Matthew:

Thank you for your letter. I admire your interest in serving our country and appreciate your desire to begin that service as soon as possible. No matter what the future holds, there are a few things that young people must do to ensure success: Study hard in order to excel in college and learn as much as possible about the things that particularly interest you; be tenacious in fulfilling commitments, whether to others or to yourself; volunteer your time and talents to community projects, learning all you can about the specific needs of the country or state in which you live; and treat everyone—family, friends and strangers—with honest and respect. If you do these things, I’m sure you will find satisfaction in whatever career you chose.

With best wishes,

Jimmy Carter.

When older players are willing to help out younger players...

When starters are willing to help out their backups...

That is when you know you have a championship culture!

Walz: So if you are feeling deflated, discouraged today, I get it. Take some time. Take care of yourselves. And get back in this fight when you are ready. And know that whenever you are ready to get back in that fight, I will be standing right here, ready to fight with you.

Leadership is about making people and situations better. Leadership isn't about your status, talent, position, title, authority, role, or age.

Walking down the street in Grand Forks ND and came across these girls operating their lemonade stand. Of course we bought lemonade. This made me smile. 😊

Andy Rooney landed on the beach of Normandy days after D-Day, 80 years ago today. In 2004, he shared a firsthand account of “a day unlike any other.”

“It’s hard for anyone who has been in a war to describe the terror of it to anyone who hasn’t,” he said. https://t.co/xknrIeLymT.
