When I saw it back when I was in high school it moved me, and every time I've seen it since, it has moved me to near tears (did it just get dusty in here?) But Valvano's speech at the ESPYs was flat out inspiring.
They just showed the whole thing on ESPN again... and once again....
well, you know...
My favorite piece of the speech is not the part that is aired the most... it's this:
“To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.”
