You can always have more but you can’t have less

This one’s from my dad and it really stuck with me. You can, and really should, apply this to any intoxicant.

On the pitch is off the streets

This is about getting restless kids, or kids who might be in a bad situation, into sports.

The axe forgets but the tree remembers

    “Anything worth doing is worth doing badly”

    When you have a task, no matter what it is, it doesn’t actually matter too much if you do a good job or a bad job. What’s important is that you do a job. Don’t give up on something because it isn’t perfect or because you don’t have all the answers; just do it anyways. It doesn’t matter if it’s shitty or if it’s incomplete, it’s still infinitely better than doing nothing at all.
