65-year-old Parks writes:

"I was born in the South, fifty years after slavery, when 

racial segregation was legally enforced. I listened to my 

grandparents talk of their lives as slave children and was 

aware of the Ku Klux Klan’s activities in our community 

after World War I. Racial pride and self-dignity were 

emphasized in my family and community ..."

"We have a Dream, a shared 

dream..." -  TO Creative Writers

"Winning begins with belief, attitude and effort. After that, the rest is up to YOU!"

T McNeil

"The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence."

Confucius

"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell."

Buddha

"Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they're making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that's the difference."

Lou Holtz

"It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk - cannot win."

John Paul Jones

The Women In The Arena

"It is not the critic who counts; not the woman who points out how the strong woman stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. 

The credit belongs to the woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends herself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
