Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” “If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.” When the student is ready, the teacher will appear”
GOALS, ADVERSITY, MASTERY ORIENTATION, ENVISION, STANDARDS 4-4, some good, some not so good. Plenty of football left. Good young men, good staff, good attitude. There’s a solid plan in place. A proven successful philosophy that has been proven time and time again. Just when you’re ready to find a new coach, players, and owners............guess what? You are in the WORLD SERIES. It will happen........................................ Book? Go with “My Losing Season” by Pat Conroy. Pat has written fiction books “Prince of Tides” and “Beach Music” (both good). My Losing Season is a great resource for how NOT to coach, and how NOT to parent Movie? Let’s go with “Legend of Bagger Vance”- you tell me if you can see the field! Music? I am going with the ole standby, Van Morrison. Again, don’t listen to the top 40 stuff of Brown Eyed Girl. Dig a little deeper, some great soul searching going on there! Lastly, Our hearts go out to Tennyson McCarty and his family. A great person, from a great family, and a great Buff. We miss you buddy. You tried to lead others away from the “deception.” Rest in Peace...........................
Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Max Ehrmann c.1920
