"If you ask me how I want to be remembered, it is as a winner... A winner is somebody who gave his best effort, who has tried the hardest they possibly can... who has utilized every ounce of energy and stregth within them to accomplish something. It doesn't mean that they accomplished it or failed, it means they've given it their best. Thats a winner." - Walter Payton

The End

Now we all know more about Walter Payton, from his stats in football, to his fighting cancer, to his family, and foundations in memory of him.  What to take from this blog is that just because they were an icon/hero in a certain sport doesn't mean thats all who they are or were, you learn alot about a person by looking into who they are or were.  Walter is making a difference with his legacy, little boys will continue to look up to him in football, people fighting cancer will look up to him for hope and faith, and hopefully families can look at how he was a family man no matter what he took on or how busy he was he had time for the people who matter most.  Today in life all we care about is the "American Dream" we forget that little things mean the most, money can't buy happiness, tomorrow is gauranteed, either are the people around you.  The main thing i've learned from Walter is live each day as if its your last!
