My Favorite Inspirational Quote, Phrase or Advice:

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. - Steve Prefontaine. I learned this quote from my years of running, as Prefontaine is a legend in the sport. Basically it's saying it doesn't matter how smart or talented you may or may not be. It's one thing to have the ability; it's another to utilize it. You have to use what you have in the best way you can if you want to accomplish something important.
