| Do it with Class | ||||||||

| What is class? It is one of those valuable intangible personal character qualities that is in high demand. Unfortunately most athletes don't have it. Class is...being a good person, showing good sportsmanship, always taking responsibility for the consequences of your actions... | ||||||||
| Class is repect for others. It is a deep and genuine respect for every human being, regardless of their status in life.
Class is having manners. It is always saying "thank you" and "please." It is complimenting people for any and every tak that is done well. Class is treating every other person as you want them to treat you in a similar situation. Class never makes excuses for one's own shortcomings, but it always helps the other person to bounce back from their mistakes. Class never brages or boasts about one's own accomplishments, and never tears down or diminshes the achievements of another person. Class does not depend on money, status, success, or ancestry. The wealthy aristocrat many not even know the meaning of the word, yet the poorest man in town may radiate class in everything he does. If you have class, everyone will know it and you will have self-respect. If you are without class - good luck, because no matter what you accomplish, it will never have meaning. |
