“Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.”

George Halas
1895 - 1983
Ballplayer, Coach, Founder of the Chicago Bears

The truth is there is no end to the number of excuses
For giving less that your best.

But what’s the point in giving less than you’re capable of giving?
If you’ve decided something is worth your time to do,
Then it’s worth doing right.

Sure, it’s tempting to compromise.  To take a shortcut.
To say that good enough is good enough.

It’s far better to do it right . . . the first time.

Determination to do your best may make you appear unreasonable.
Who cares?  Go ahead and be unreasonable.

It’s the unreasonable people providing their best effort
That change this world for the better.

Yours in achieving your personal best . . .
