Their guys have so much experience they're on Social Security. They're getting checks. They've been around. They play like a pro team. They run about 70 percent pick-and-roll. They force traps. They force you to switch. If it was a series, Georgia Tech would probably beat us.

Tackle the difficult things first in the morning; make changes in the way you network. Treat everyone with respect and dignity. This stops you from cynicism and negativity. End your day with that same attitude you started. Renew your contract with a day well completed.
