7. JULI 2011
Rest is not idleness,
and to lie sometimes
on the grass
on a summer day
listening to the
murmur of water,
or watching the clouds
float across the sky,
is hardly a
waste of time.

Above any of the
competitive success
we may have had,
this silly little game
has ended up
providing me
with such a
wonderful education
on how to
relate with my dog.
That was, and remains
to bethe main reason
why I started,
and continue to love,
playing this game.

10. OKTOBER 2011
You were born to win,
but to be a winner,
you must plan to win,
prepare to win,
and expect to win.
If you don't see yourself
as a winner,
then you cannot
perform as a winner.

Count the garden by the flowers,
never by the leaves that fall.
Count your life with the smiles,
and not by the tears that roll.
