I love the one by MLK! It's very true and times of adversity truly reveal what you're made of.
I agree what a man of wisdom.
More great quotes again this week Todd. The one that most applies to me is Chuck Norris's quote about temper. I've always had a bit of a temper and it's gotten me into trouble in the past.
Thanks Jeremy. It's a pretty powerful statement.

That Chuck Norris video is very funny.
At one point I watched all of Chuck Norris' early movies, starting with "Good Guys Wear Black." I was studying jujitsu at the time, and Chuck was one of my heroes.
Some of his movies were not that great, but the character he played always had a strict code of honor, and I admired the fact that he lived or died by his principles.
Did you practice japanese or brazilian jiu jitsu?
The style I studied actually originated in Hawaii.

Great one-will put it in line!
I also like the quote from Martin Luther King!
It is so true, it is easy to be calm, cool and collected when everything is going right. What separates successful and courageous people from everyone else is how they act when everything seems bleak and challenging.
As most of us know, being our best under difficult circumstances is much easier in theory than in practice.

It's like an iron that hits my chest!
