The best advice I have ever been given and who gave it to you: "You do not know what you are able to do until you try. Try it in every possible way. Be deliberate, and spontaneous. Be thoughtful, and painstaking, be abandoned, and impulsive. Learn your own possibilities." George Bellows

What is something that very few, if any, people know about you:  "I play 1st base like a pro!"
