Passion
“I owe almost everything to football, which I’ve spent the greater part of my life in. And I have never lost my respect, my admiration nor my love for what I consider a great game. And each Sunday after the battle, one group savors victory; another group lives in the bitterness of defeat. The many hurt seem a small price to pay for having won, and there’s no reason at all, which is adequate for having lost. To the winner, there is one hundred percent elation, one hundred percent laughter, one hundred percent fun. And to the loser, the only thing left for him is one hundred percent resolution, and one hundred percent determination.
It’s a game – and I think – a great deal like life, in that it demands a man’s personal commitment, be it toward excellence, be it toward victory; even though you know that ultimate victory can never be completely won. Yet it must be pursued with all of one’s might and each week, there’s a new encounter; each year, a new challenge. But all of the rings and all of the money; all of the color and all of the display; they linger only in the memory. But the spirit – the will to win, and the will to excel – these are the things that endure, and these are the qualities of course that are so much more important than any of the events that occasion them. And Id like to say that the quality of any man’s life has got to be a full measure of that man’s personal commitment to excellence and to victory, regardless of what field he may be in.” - Vince Lombardi
Every one of our men at Second Wind gets a lump in our throats when we read the words above by the ultimate motivator and winner.
Passion! It’s a characteristic trait that you cannot teach and is impossible to learn . You either have it or you don’t. You can’t fake it … there is too much at stake. What determines who wins is Passion!! Who wants it more!! The playing field is level. Our competition more than likely has the same innate abilities we have however they lack what we were born with …. Passion!! It win’s championship’s! Choose the arena – on the field or in the business world., passion allows you to thrive once again. Our passion as well as your’s will overcome all obstacles. “Winning is not a sometimes thing – it’s an every time thing. You don’t win sometimes …you win all of the time. There is no such thing as 2nd place. Winning is always the ultimate goal!!” ONWARD THROUGH THE FOG!!! JOSEPH CONFORTO
