way to inspire young people who are trying<br />
to find meaning in life and attempting<br />
to put together a game plan for the future.<br />
The book speaks about goal setting,<br />
chasing dreams, taking personal responsibility<br />
and living a balanced life.<br />
“I wrote a book about growing up, becoming<br />
an adult where you have to establish<br />
certain things,” explained Cobb.<br />
“I tied it to athletics where you have to<br />
develop fundamentals. You’ve got to<br />
have the fundamentals as you grow into<br />
adulthood. You have to have a purpose<br />
for your life. You start making those<br />
kinds of decisions on what kind of a person<br />
you want to be. You develop some<br />
maturity about having responsibility and<br />
being responsible for what you do.”<br />
Cobb spoke to a packed auditorium,<br />
sharing important life lessons to an attentive<br />
audience. He encouraged young<br />
people to think before they act, to maintain<br />
balance in their lives, further their<br />
education and don’t allow fear to keep<br />
them from their dreams. “You can’t be<br />
afraid. I’ve seen fear stop so many people,<br />
it’s slowed me down at times. You’ll<br />
have things that bother you. You don’t<br />
think you can do anything, so you don’t<br />
try. If you don’t try, I’ll guarantee you one<br />
thing: you will fail. You’ve got to have<br />
courage. You’ve got to be willing to lose.<br />
Everybody fails. You tell me anybody<br />
who’s ever achieved anything great, and<br />
I’ll show you somebody who’s failed. So<br />
don’t you let fear of failing stop you from<br />
trying.”<br />
With spring also comes renewed and<br />
vigorous growth of tree roots that can<br />
block sewer lines. We take every<br />
possible effort to keep our main lines<br />
free of roots through our maintenance<br />
program. The lateral line from your<br />
house to our main line, however, is the<br />
