Yikes. A guy just walked into the library and asked the librarian at the front desk about  a little girl, gave a quick panicked description. He said three girls from this neighborhood are missing, and shot back out.

This quote is from one of those read-one-page-a-day inspirational readers, someone sends me a page from one once in a while. I kind of like this part of a page,  because I don't always know what the heck to do with my day. This is just saying, take it one more inch--same as last week if you don't know what to do, just take it one more inch...

 Inches Make Champions: 
Vince Lombardi

What's the difference between success and failure? Ideal conditions? Half again as much effort? Twice the talent? Ten times "the breaks"? Or is it simply that some people have what it takes and some people don't?

Vince Lombardi, the football coach who brought the Green Bay Packers from fifteen losing seasons to successive world championships, thought success was a matter of inches. A bit more concentration, one extra push in practice, a consistent second effort for a tiny additional gain. He didn't ask his players to be something other than they were - he asked them to improve their best an inch at a time. He knew inches add up, in life as in sports.

Do you know if they ever found the little girls?

I have no idea, couldn't get the news since my t.v. isn't working. I'm going to ask around, I know someone whose mom lives up the street from the library a few blocks.
