Vision
“When I was a kid in school and finished my class work or a test early, I would take out a piece of paper and write my name in three columns on every line. I was the only kid in the class who did that. One day the teacher came over to ask me why I would always write my name over and over again. I told her that one day I was going to be famous and people are going to ask me for my autograph so I am practicing writing it now” Tyrone Montgomery, NFL player for the Oakland Raiders
