The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing

We all went to Brittany's graduation reception and Christy reminded me of the quote from my Valley days. It deals with focus. I used to remind the kids that their academic focus was most important as we spent hours practicing for extra curricular activities. Stephen Covey origin.

I also remember WIN? What's Important Now? That has a Lou Holtz origin.

And Gretzky- "Skate to where the puck will be"

Lance Armstrong- "Are you riding or hiding?"
