Quote of the Day: Jim Valvano

"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special." Jim Valvano, who coached the North Carolina State Wolfpack to an NCAA basketball title in 1983, said those words in an ESPN awards show acceptance speech on March 4th, 1993. Less than two months later, Valvano lost his fight with cancer and died. Words of inspiration that transcend the boundaries of sports. What's your average day like?
