Stand up and rise above the rest with passion in your arms and fire in your heart.
Dare to dream, dream high, dream ahead."

"Lose Yourself"
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This this whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

Holy Crap! Rob Butcher is Yoda (on stilts)!
I saw him in the warm up pool and he told me what time I would swim in the 100 BR and I did. He used the old Jedi Mind Trick...

Good "Ready Room" music.....if we had a ready room!:)

LOL! There is a story behind me using that quote. I had a coach (no names here) that had that Yoda attitude (and height! :D ). When he gave us 20x500 or 30x100 on :60 and we'd go "we'll try".....it was pretty much just like that scene! :argue::agree:
I am probably the biggest Star Wars fan on these forums. However, I will let you all kindly know that Yoda is an ornery, dogmatic little goblin. Even in the Original Trilogy, he's that way!
exhibit A:
"Too old to begin the training!"
Yoda to a one Anakin Skywalker.
exhibit B:
"Too old to begin the training!"
Yoda to a one Luke Skywalker.
Yoda passed this judgment on the two greatest Jedi that ever lived, because he felt he had to adhere to the Jedi code that it was useless to try and teach the Force to children beyond, ah, a certain age.
Personally, I'm all about Master Qui-Gon Jinn and this nifty little quote of his: "Your focus determines your reality."

Well Yoda didn't like the conflict he saw in Anakin and look how that turned out...no wonder when Anakin's son popped up all full of impatience and gung-ho he went wobbly on it...after all he knew... "There is another..."
