The stale sweaty gym air was electric. The buzzer sounded and I jumped up and ran onto the gym floor.

The cheerleaders mobbed the players.Yelling V-I-C-T-O-R-Y that's my team's battle cry!

My High school basketball team just upset the league Champs, The Giants, in the district playoffs. How did my puny underdogs do that?

You need to practice being a Go-Giver. Practice giving more smiles, giving more compliments, and giving more handshakes. The princess handshake and limp fish handshake are just plain icky.

D- Dig or Digg

Use the bulldog determination of a mole. Digg into internet marketing. Where can you find the new ideas? Taking baby steps now will be giant steps later.
