"The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it."

Considering the amount of fancy equipment now seen in competition, some readers have complained loudly that the 'average guy' does not have a chance. It might be pointed out that this average guy never has had a chance. Competition is held to determine what is best, not what is average. And if all the equipment were standardized, the man who won would still not be in any sense average.

Death is natures way of telling you to slow down.
Personally, I think Winston Churchill was the master of the motivational quote...
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
Winston Churchill
A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality.
Winston Churchill
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Winston Churchill
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Winston Churchill
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
Winston Churchill
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Winston Churchill
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill
Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.
Winston Churchill
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
Winston Churchill
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
Winston Churchill
If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
Winston Churchill
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Winston Churchill
And for Flex..... Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.
Winston Churchill
