There is no better teacher than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.

Malcolm X

Stumbling is not falling.

Malcolm X

My Alma mater was books, a good library… I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

Malcolm X

The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.

Malcolm X

If you’re not ready to die for it, put the word ‘freedom’ out of your vocabulary.

Malcolm X

If you’d like to learn more about Malcolm X, here’s his Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_X

I hope you are all having a great week!

Until next time…

Cowardice, Day of Mourning, Evil, Senseless, Violence

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” – Bible, Matthew 5:4

Today, I’m going to take a break from posting my Workout Log and Daily Quote to take the time to applaud the first responders and others who helped the victims of the Massacre last night in Las Vegas escape the area or supported medical personnel and others evacuate the injured to medical facilities. It warms my heart to see so many volunteers and my fellow citizens who sacrificed for one another during this unforgivable and useless act of violence and cowardice.

My thoughts and prayers are with those who lost loved ones, whose loved ones have not been identified, and for those that remain in hospitals, urgent care, and other medical facilities across metro Las Vegas, who are still receiving life-saving care. My hope is that we lose no more Americans to this senseless and evil act.

Until next time…

Dave
