How do you go from where you are to where you wanna be? And I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal. And you have to be willing to work for it. – Jim Valvano
And Im going to work as hard as I can… for cancer research and hopefully, maybe, well have some cures and some breakthroughs. Id like to think Im going to fight my brains out to be back here again next year for the Arthur Ashe recipient. I want to give it next year! – Jim Valvano
I just got one last thing, I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get youre emotions going. – Jim Valvano
