There is a reason they called it chasing your dreams and not walking after them.

I was a terrible student. I didn't graduate magna cum laude: I graduated 'Thank you, Lawdy!'

What I tell people all the time is that bodies are made in the kitchen, not in the gym. You cannot exercise a bad diet. It's just impossible. Unless you want to be the ultra-marathoner or someone like a Michael Phelps that's swimming 70 or 80,000 meters in a week, you cannot exercise a bad diet.

A lot of people mistake habit for hard work. Doing something over and over again is not working hard.

Don't hope someone gives you an opportunity: create one for yourself.

The thing you can't measure is someone's heart, someone's desire. You can measure a 40, his vertical, his bench press, and that might let you know things like, yeah, he can jump high. But desire, his dedication, his determination, that's something you can't measure. That's something you can't measure about Rod Smith.
