Lunedì 30 ottobre 🍁🎃🍂

Buongiorno!! 🤗☔🌧️

Buon inizio di settimana 🍀💪💪💪

Dobbiamo sempre applicarci

per cercare di cambiare le cose..in meglio,

lo dobbiamo a noi stessi,

Dobbiamo prenderci cura del nostro equilibrio.

Credere e desiderare in uno squarcio di sole.

Osservarci, guardarci intorno,

analizzando con calma il momento

che stiamo vivendo.

La prima grande responsabilità

che abbiamo è prenderci cura di noi stessi,

è un dovere, senza quello non siamo in grado di esserci per noi e per la nostra vita,

e di questo dobbiamo rendere consapevoli anche gli altri.

Si chiama Rispetto..

Per noi stessi, per gli altri

e richiederlo.

Il Rispetto è un atto d'amore.

Lucia 💓

Luli ❤️ Lu 💖🌞🌊♾️

Non credo

che tu debba essere migliore di chiunque altro.

Credo che tu debba essere migliore

di quanto tu abbia mai pensato di poter essere.

(Ken Venturi)

Jack Burke Jr., Who Gained 2 Main Golf Titles in a Season, Dies at 100

Jack Burke Jr., a high participant on the P.G.A. tour within the postwar years who received two main golf championships in a single season, then turned a sought-after teacher to among the sport’s best stars, died on Friday in Houston. He was 100 and the oldest residing winner of the Masters and P.G.A. championships. A consultant of the Texas Sports activities Corridor of Fame, which inducted him in 1978, confirmed the loss of life. Burke’s banner yr was 1956, when he received each the Masters and P.G.A. titles and was named the P.G.A.’s golfer of the yr. His Masters victory stunned nearly everybody. Solely weeks earlier, having gone winless because the Inverness open in Ohio in 1953, Burke, who was 33, had introduced that he was contemplating retiring. And going into the ultimate spherical at Augusta Nationwide Golf Membership, he was eight strokes behind the Masters chief, Ken Venturi, and had not drawn a lot consideration. All eyes had been on Venturi, who at 24 was vying to grow to be the primary newbie to win the Masters.

Burke went on to earn distinction as a longtime teacher of Phil Mickelson, Hal Sutton, Steve Elkington and different professionals. In his 70s, Arnold Palmer dropped by for a lesson. Jack Nicklaus as soon as mentioned of Burke, “I can’t inform you what number of occasions we have been enjoying golf and he’d say, ‘Jack, how are you going to play from that place?’” John Joseph Burke Jr. was born on Jan. 29, 1923, in Fort Value, the eldest of eight siblings, considered one of whom died younger. He grew up in Houston, the place his father, who had tied for second within the 1920 U.S. Open, was the professional on the River Oaks Nation Membership. Jack Jr. first performed golf at age 6. At 12, he shot a 69 on a troublesome par-71 course. At 16, he certified for the U.S. Open. However at 17, on the insistence of his mom, he entered Rice Institute (now Rice College) in Houston. He left earlier than he accomplished his freshman yr, nevertheless, and have become the top professional on the Galveston Nation Membership.

Today is a repeat and my last day at OPTP.

Good Morning! “I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.” - Ken Venturi

I'm not going to try and be better then others. When you start thinking you are “better” then suddenly people are beneath you. You can look down on them and that is not good at all. But I do believe that if you work for it and you want it, you can be the best version of yourself. Maybe you might even be better then you ever thought you could. So my wish for each of you today is that you are able to work towards the best version of yourself that you can be. Have a great day!

#goodmorning #the best you #you can be
