“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” – Wayne Gretzky

Spot on Wayne. While we’re now sliding around on ice, except on winter rides, Wayne’s words of wisdom ring true for all sports and in getting the most from life. Shoot and miss, try and fail, attack and fade; we salute the effort and maybe that one didn’t deliver but the next just might. The snug safety of not sticking your neck out is tempting but ultimately guarantees failure, even if you don’t get the score until it’s too late to start a rematch and try again. We all applaud the one who tries and never gives up, no matter the odds. Never Follow, be that one and take every opportunity to shoot.
