In Honor of Jimmy V

by Josh Opinion on December 6, 2009

Jimmy V week is coming to an end. A great coach and person who dedicated his final time here on Earth to a cause greater than himself, a true inspiration. Take some time and watch his famous speech.

Some inspirational quotes from Jimmy V:

  • "To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special."
  • "Be a dreamer. If you don’t know how to dream, you’re dead."
  • "Don’t give up, don’t ever give up."
  • "How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal, and you have to be willing to work for it."
  • "My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me."
  • "No matter what business you’re in, you can’t run in place or someone will pass you by. It doesn’t matter how many games you’ve won."
  • "There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It’s up to you to decide what to do with them."
  • "Never give up! Failure and rejection are only the first step to succeeding."
