An Athletic Approach to Leadership and Life

Life is Short: Autobiography as Haiku Washington Post, April 22, 2001 © Mariah Burton Nelson Life is short. I am not. I'm used to this. When I screw in a lightbulb without standing on a chair, I'm not amazed. Others, however, seem shocked. "How tall ARE you?" they ask. Daily. "Six-two." "You couldn't be that tall." Favorite question: "Have you always been that tall?" Favorite comment: "I wish I were tall -- but not as tall as you." Yes, I played college and pro basketball. But I wasn't good because I'm tall. I was good because I practiced. Mission: To be the kind of person who's worth looking up to, just in case anyone's looking.
