This is from an old Nike ad. I made copies of it and have had it posted on my wall at work where ever I've worked.


All your life you are told the things you
cannot do.
All your life they will say you're not good
enough or strong enough or talented
enough,
they'll say you're the wrong height or the
wrong weight or the wrong type to play
this or be this or achieve this.
They will tell you
NO,
a thousand times no until all the no's
become meaningless.
All your life they will tell you no, quite
firmly and very quickly.
They will tell you no.
And you will tell them
YES

Your life is a series of what everyone says
about you,
and what you say about yourself
So say
YES

I vaguely recall that ad. It was one of their better ads.

No nitpicking here today. :)
