It’s not finishing something when your tank is empty that makes you a stronger person. It’s brushing yourself off and refacing the foe that defeated you with the same determination and willingness to fight that you had when you began your journey.

It is too bad that the local TV stations don't cover this type of news like they did in the sixties.
