My heart breaks, but I am uplifted by the words he made me memorize as a 12 year-old boy who loved him as much as the game he taught me to play.
“If you think you can, you can. If you think you dare not, don’t. If you think you’d like to win, but think you can’t, it’s almost a cinch you won’t. For all through this world you’ll find, success begins with a person’s will; it’s all in the state of mind.”
