STRUGGLE BLINDLY

FIRST STEP
Author Amy Tan wrote “Chance is the first step you take, luck is what comes afterward.”

BE PREPARED

NAME OF GAME
“Baseball gives every boy a chance to excel, not just to be good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.” Ted Williams, American baseball player.
JUST DO IT

BEING HERE
