Curtis Jones
"A
winner is someone who sets their goals, commits themselves to those goals and
then pursues their goals with all the ability that is given to them. That requires someone who beleives in
themselves, who will make self sacrifices, work hard, and maintain the
determination to perform at the best of their ability."
-C. Leeman Bennett
