“Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don’t do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.  Unless a man believes in himself and makes a total commitment to his career and puts everything he has into it – his mind, his body, and his heart – what’s life worth to him?”

 

—Vince Lombardi

Obviously Coach Lombardi never met Barrack Obama.
