weyes' wisdom of the day - 10/25/09

[weyes]

while it may be ok to look to professional athletes for inspiration in some matters, such as physical fitness and self-confidence, there are others in which athletes are not good role models - and i'm not just referring to michael vick and o.j. simpson. for example, it is not acceptable to:

• readjust or scratch one's own crotch repeatedly in public.
  
• spit any and every place.
  
• start fistfights with people, just 'cause.
  
• hit other people's butts as a sign of appreciation.
  
• head butt other people as a sign of appreciation.
  
• bump chests with other people as a sign of appreciation.
  
• attribute your success to "god's will" and your failure to "bad luck."
  
• make obscene amounts of money and keep it all to oneself.
  

it's important to remember that, while athletes are referred to by many as "heroes," that they're just people, like the rest of us.

tune in tomorrow.
