Jack’s Winning Words 7/19/21 “The main thing is to care.  Care very hard, even it is only a game you are playing.”  (Billie Jean King)  Abour 50 years ago King was the top women’s tennis player, winning 39 grand slam titles…but she’s probably best known for beating Bobby Riggs who bragged that he could beat any woman tennis player.  In “The Battle of the Sexes” King won, because she “cared” more.  Generally, in life, battles are won by those who care more, who have focus.  You might have learned that lesson when you first heard Aesop’s fable about The Tortoise and the Hare.  ;-)  Jack FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL:  good one,  Jack.   put another way,  it means paying close attention to the details.   care and caring ===JACK:  Be sure to dot the t's and cross the i's (like Carl Reiner in "The Jerk."===SP:  that seems to be one of your most favorite movies.   Steve Martin can be a real hoot at times on screen. ===JACK:  He's a wild and crazy guy!   FROM BLAZING OAKS:  Certainly holds true for me!
