“Attitude”
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company ... a
church ... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past ... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do
is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitude."
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
--Robert Frost

I. Roscoe, there are two main reasons why you should never use steroids.
A. First, steroids have several negative physical effects.
1. A recent study by the American Medical Association showed that even a limited amount of steroids can damage a person’s growth in the long run.
a. This is what happened to Bubba Bronson, New Bern High School’s main running back, who took steroids for only two months last summer.
b. When he showed up for football practice in early August, he could barely sprint.
2. In professional sports coaches have found that players who use steroids wind up having decreased mental agility on the playing field.
a. For instance, when in the 1977 Superbowl Mack Stambert, the famed Pittsburg Steelers linebacker, completely turned around and started tackling his own team, his coaches were befuddled.
b. Another instance occurred in pro basketball, when J.J. Eunice decided to become a cheerleader during the final quarter and grabbed some pom-poms on the sidelines and started cheering.
B. There are other very negative consequences besides mental and physical ones, namely legal ones!
1. Last year the Federal Government passed a law banning all steroid use in amateur, collegiate and professional sports.
a. The penalties for violating this law are severe in most cases.
b. Several professional athletes—Juan Sohan, Bubba Brutarsky, and Jolene McMurphy—to name only a few, are now in jail because of steroid use in professional sports.
2. Even on the local level sheriff departments and local police have begun cracking down on steroid users and dealers.
a. In New Bern last year five steroid dealers were arrested and jailed, and the community was shocked because several of these dealers were kids from so-called “good” neighborhoods.
b. The sheriff’s department also runs through gymnasiums once a week with special dogs that can sniff out steroids, so the risk of even having them is definitely not worth it.
