Quote of the Week...from Stephen Curry

Whatever that means, however you got on that mountain, why not try to climb it? And do it in your own way.                                                                  ---Stephen Curry

I picked Stephen Curry, the incredibly talented and poised guard for the twice-champion Golden State Warriors, for this week's quote because, after all, we're in the middle of the NBA playoffs and all eyes are on his team to see whether they can "three-peat".  Curry definitely has his own style of play and is a full-court player, i.e. he is tenacious on both offense and defense.  Only a few of us are on Stephen's "mountain" of being a star basketball player, but we all have something that interests us or provides positive feedback as to our talents.  Everybody's different, and sometimes the mountain is a disability or adversity to climb over and overcome.  The main thing is to climb...and as suggested, to it in our own way.  That doesn't mean rejecting advice and instruction along the way...part of doing things our own way is practicing a discerning volition with what resources to accept from others and what won't work for us.  In the long run, after all is said, I believe it's the process and struggles to better ourselves that dwarf the actual ultimate achievement in the end...it's about filling our days with meaningful, directed goals and making responsible choices about how to proceed.  Very uplifting, Mr. Curry!
