"If you have a chance to accomplish something that will make things better for people coming behind you and you don’t do that, you are wasting your time on this Earth” – stated by Roberto Clemente, the great humanitarian and legendary Hall of Fame Baseball player, who died in a plane crash while taking supplies to survivors of an earthquake in Nicaragua a year after leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to the World Series Championship in 1971

“WHEN I PASS AWAY AND IF ALL I’M KNOWN FOR IS JUST BEING A ‘FOOTBALL PLAYER’, THEN I FAILED IN LIFE” – stated by Reggie White, an NFL Hall of Famer and one of the greatest pass rushers ever to play the game of football

-----------------------------

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly ... who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat" – stated  by Teddy Roosevelt, 26th U.S. President (1901) 

-----------------------------

"Don't cheat the world of your contribution. Give it what you've got” – stated by Steven Pressfield, American Author of historical fiction

This story involves a family of two brothers – Blake (10)  & J ordan (13) Rice and their Mother (Donna) .
