"Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can do only as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, you can achieve." Mary Kay Ash
I am going to step outside our academic pursuits for this post, I hope no one minds. This last week I had the opportunity to be part of history. Nothing world changing, but history non the less. This last week the Guam National Football team competed in a tournament right here on Guam against Mongolia, Macau, and the CNMI. The Guam National Soccer team has never won a match against an international opponent.... until now. Not only did we win our first match but we won the right to move on to the night stage of competition! No one outside of those directly involved with the team believed it possible. I saw first hand this week the implacations of the above quote. In order for you to achieve something great, first you have to believe it is possible!
