Overcoming a sickly early childhood, Bobby Jones' earned recognition as a sports phenomenon by the age of 14. Triumphing over his own spirited temper, self-imposed perfectionism and the barbs of public scrutiny, he often endured pain and grueling physical strain to achieve victory on the golf course.
DETERMINATION
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man’s determination.
--TOMMY LASORDA
A man in earnest finds means, or if he cannot find, creates them.
--WILLIAM ELLERY CHANNING (1780–1842)
Every noble work is at first impossible.
--THOMAS CARLYLE (1795–1881)
If you don’t invest much, defeat doesn’t hurt and winning is not exciting.
--DICK VERMEIL
DETERMINATION
Hebrews 12:1 (NLT)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us.
1 Cor. 9:24 (NLT)
Remember that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize. You also must run in such a way that you will win.
Eccles. 9:11 (MsgB)
I took another walk around the neighborhood and realized that on this earth as it is—
The race is not always to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor satisfaction to the wise,
Nor riches to the smart,
Nor grace to the learned.
Sooner or later bad luck hits us all.
