Rohtak to Rio

Day 231 “You were born a winner, a warrior, one who defied the odds by surviving the most gruesome battle of them all – the race to the egg.

Represent Yourself

Day 230 “Champions are not the ones who always win races – champions are the ones who get out there and try. And try harder the next time.

Like I said in yesterday’s post, children need support and encouragementContinue reading “Got Your Back”

Unstoppable

Role Models

Day 226 “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.” – James Baldwin Follow your bliss.

Keep It Light

Day 225 “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life.
