Happy 2007!!!!
Today...I need to talk about passion, goals, and success. To do so, however, I have to reference a game...a football game. And I generally hate using sport analogies to describe anything...but today it fits. If you missed the football game between Boise State and Oklahoma a couple days ago...well you missed a game that everyone (football fan or not) would enjoy. An amazing number of points were scored in very little time. If you didn't stay and watch until the very end of the game...you missed the most important minutes. This was a David and Goliath story in the making and both teams were working hard for this win. Oklahoma was the odds on favorite to win, but in overtime and with a 2 point trick play Boise State took home the Fiesta Bowl championship and the hearts of many people watching the game. Oh...and the running back that scored the final 2 points -- shortly after the game he went and proposed marriage to his girlfriend on national television (and she said yes).
It's time for all of us to take that kind of passion into 2007 and turn it into something special.
