Quote of the Day

“He talks about a guy who was always happy, always positive, and someone asked him, ‘Why are you always happy?’ His answer was that everything in life is a choice – you can choose to be happy or choose to be upset about it…If you choose to be happy all the time, and you choose to be positive, then you’re going to live a good life and succeed a lot.” – Mark Herzlich, probable NFL draft pick and cancer survivor, at the NFL combine.
