College basketball coach Jimmy Valvano gave this speech at the ESPY awards eight weeks before he died of cancer. It is one of my favorites and I watch it whenever I need a reminder about living fully every day.
“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.” – Jimmy V
Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.
