MOLESKINE

“It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.”

• Babe Ruth

 

Labor Day isn’t just a long weekend or a day off from work: it is a reminder of what defines us as men. It is a celebration of sweat, grit, and the quiet dignity of a job well done. 

 

As men of F3, we know that nothing worthwhile in this life is ever given; it is earned, day by day.

 

Final quote from Jim Valvano, aka Jimmy V, NC basketball coach, from his ESPY speech: “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.”

 

Ball of Man.

End in Prayer.
