“You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time.”
- Vince Lombardi in my football book

This is a very powerful statement that Lombardi makes. The statement is only attended to people of a strong nature. Vince was a very great coach that demanded for perfection by his team. He coached by this statement and lived by this phrase everyday of his life. The world would be a lot better place if everybody followed this quote.
The statement is very powerful because it allows no room for error. It says you must do things right all the time. When he says all the time, he means all the time. This means when you feel sick, tired, or just unmotivated. The quote is very difficult to actually follow in real life. Most people can do things right a majority of the time. The difficult part is doing the right thing all the time. There a very few people, if any, that can actually follow the quote in their life.
I personally try to follow this quote in my life. Like most people I can follow the quote most of the time. However, I occasionally slack off a little bit. It’s just too easy to not do the right thing sometimes.

“You don’t try once in a while, you don’t give up once in a while, you never give up.”
