Blogging With Hawk
Hi Folks,
For those of you who are not familiar with Coach Hawkins of the University of Colorado, you are in for a treat. The man is intense and his outlook on ball and life is both positive and successfull. He used to be the HC at Boise St. and was a huge part of building that outstanding program into the giant killer that it is. He has always gotten more with less and I believe that he will in time, build UC into a power. For more on Coach Hawkins http://www.coachhawkins.com/
Here is a great post of his on the Blue Collar work-ethic and attitude: http://www.cubuffs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=600&ATCLID=1354543

Getting It Done!
Quote of the Week 16-23 March
HANNIBAL (247-183 B.C.) Carthaginian General
-We will either find a way or make one.- Attributed
Rome's most feared and mortal enemy was a "can do" guy. Outnumbered and out-armoured he found a way time and again to out-maneuver and out-fight his implaccable enemy, the Roman Republic. One of his most famous challenges and exploits was figuring out how to get his greatest weapon, african war elephants into battle with the Roman main force elements on their home ground. The seas were denied to him so he had to find a way. He stunned em by bringing his elephants over a mountain range (the Alps) and descending on the Roman army from an unexpected direction.
Whether as individuals or individual programs we are all going to face a multitude of challenges this year. The question is yours to answer: Are you going to find a way or make one?

Ain't Life Amazing
Oh Baby, drawing a breath is so beautiful in all of its affirming simplicity...I am by God Alive!
Stop, breathe and marvel at how good it feels.
If you don't believe me, sink your head in a tub of water for five minutes!!
Desiderata
GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE AND THE HASTE, AND REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE IN SILENCE.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they, too, have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater or lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in you own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you for what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere live is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the council of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy. Max Ehrmann, 1927
