[Andy Grady]

Ya know....there is a famous quote I live by...unfortunately I cant remember who said it....

"Life is far too important to take seriously."

I think that we as folks get passionate about what we do and often we forget to just sit back and enjoy what we have.

I think the same goes for FIRST. If you take it too seriously, you may miss out on the things that really made you love FIRST. Not to mention...all that time you spend trying to solve the puzzle of "does the letter R in Dave Lavery's name stand for Rawlings, which makes footballs, and a banana is shaped like a football, so therefore the game piece must be football tee's" could be taking away from time you could be using to to very important things in life....like pass school, or get a job.

Trust me kids...FIRST is great. But going through life without having to wonder if that next check will be enough to pay the electric bill....thats way more important.
