random quote

picking the first of anything, always seems like a giant step. a step that people will judge all future steps upon. the weight of such a decision can be almost crushing upon my shoulders. until i realize that no one cares what i do and then i become quite free and carefree, making decisions rashly and without much deliberation. the innumerable joys of being unknown.
"when you are not practicing, remember, someone somewhere is practicing, and when you meet him he will win."
- ed macauley
i think the quote was used in some nike ads. mr. macauley was a famous basketball center so his reference was directed more towards sports. but i think it's generally applicable. i've used the quote for motivation over the years. and although i'm not a competitive person, its always helped to remind me that there are others out there who are hungrier, pushing harder, sleeping less to get better.
