• I have seen some terrifically exciting changes with young players coming into the squad which is reinvigorated.

• Look at the evils of the world around you and protect yourself from them. Our teachers give all the wrong messages to our youth, since they take away the natural flare from the soul.

• I’m a bit of an expert on anger, having suffered from it all through my youth, when I was both brunt and font.

Why would you want to sacrifice rage to go about the long, difficult, dreary business of making something more tolerable?
