Quote of the day!!!

"Ain't no man can avoid being born average, but there ain't no man got to be common."

Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige (July 7, 1906 – June 8, 1982) was an American baseball player whose pitching in the Negro leagues and in Major League Baseball made him a legend in his own lifetime. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971, the first player to be inducted from the Negro leagues.
Paige was a right-handed pitcher and was the oldest rookie to play Major League Baseball at the age of 42. He played with the St. Louis Browns until age 47, and represented them in the Major League All-Star Game in 1952 and 1953. Paige began his professional career in 1926 with the Chattanooga White Sox of the Negro Southern League, and played his last professional game on June 21, 1966, for the Peninsula Grays of the Carolina League.

Very simply put but very well said. When we were born, we were born like anybody else. What sets us apart from the rest and makes us special is when we decide to make something meaningful out of our lives, achieve our goals, realize our dreams and not just live our life by just being mediocre and common. No great champions ever believed that they are one of the billions of people in this world but lived their lives believing they are the special one out of the billions.
