Jimmy V.

I am a basketball fan, most importantly college Bball, and every year about this time Jim Valvano's speech comes on, this year, I bawled through the whole thing.

Here's an excerpt

I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get you're emotions going. To be enthusiastic every day and as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Nothing great could be accomplished without enthusiasm," to keep your dreams alive in spite of problems whatever you have. The ability to be able to work hard for your dreams to come true, to become a reality.  

If you have never heard this speech (on ESPN constantly) or actually read it, it's very poignant.  Lots of sports talk, but a lot more besides that.  A lot about using humour to cope.....

You can find the transcript here. Along with the YouTube broadcast.

still remains.  ~Anne Frank

realize they were the big things.  ~Robert Brault
