Jimmy V

James Thomas Anthony Valvano "Jimmy V", was the head coach of the North Carolina State University men's basketball team. He was honored at the 1993 ESPY award show with the Arthur Ashe Courage and Humanitarian Award. The speech he gave while excepting the award is one of the most moving speeches I've ever heard. Jimmy V passed away eight weeks after he gave this speech. But his spirit lives on.

"Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever."

Life can change in an instant.
Life is beautiful and it goes by in a blink. It's easy to get caught up in money, careers, awards and the many other things of this world. Which are great and it is very important to have goals and to go after them. But do not let those things define who you are. Because relationships are what truly matter. Don't ever let a day go by, that you don't let the ones you love know, how much you love them.

"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."
