Food for Thought: "It's not how you start"

Evening all,

I ran across an interesting article by ESPN's Rick Reilly detailing how it's not so important how we start in life, but rather how we finish.

For those of you who may not know, the Miami Dolphins GM asked arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL draft, Dez Bryant, if his mother was a prostitute. Now, for me personally, they probably would have had to pull me off of the guy. But Bryant kept his composure and answered "no" to the question posed to him.

But, as Reilly stated in his article, why should that even matter? That has nothing to do with how Bryant would perform for any football team. If anything, I would assume that if that were true those circumstances would have made him a stronger individual, not any type of liability.

I understand accountability, but you can only control what you can control, and your upbringing is one of those things.

Anyway, I encourage you to check out the full article here.

Cheers to finishing strong,

JIP
