Chris McCandless Paragraph

"First you have to learn the rules of the game.  And then you have to play better than anyone else"

-Albert Einstein

        I chose this quote for a couple reasons.  First of all, this quote is true to me, in that I`m very competitive and play competitive sports.   Second of all I thought that this quote would be inspirational not just to me, but to other people.  This quote is saying as long as you know what you have to do, you should give the task at hand all your effort, and work as hard as you can.  This quotation is a great representation of my life and how I live everyday.   I play different sports nearly every day and there is always competition surrounding them.  In order to be on the best team, squad, or line, you have to work hard to get there.  I believe that if you work hard enough you can achieve most things in life.  My life would be very busy if a lived by this quote.  In my spare time I would always be practicing sports and not leave anytime for anything else.  I would certainly get better at sports and certain skills, but I would not have a lot of time on my hands.  This quote by Albert Einstein is a great representative of my life, and how I live.
