Here are a few of my favorite "words to live by" given to me over the years:
* "Stranger things have happened" - Pep talk from my high school basketball coach when we were down by 50 points at half time
* "You just have to grin and bear it" - My dad's advice for when the going gets rough
* "God does not give you anything you cannot handle" - Lesson from my high school religion teacher/youth group leader
* "You can lead 'em to water, but you can't make 'em drink" - My dad's favorite thing to say when you can't make sense out of one's actions.
* "Make it happen" - My supervisor (who worked for the I-Cubs at the time) gave out this advice, along with a hat stretcher to one of the players who complained his hat was too small and demanded he get a new one.
