In a Salute to the American Way of Life, December 1970, Vince Lombardi made a presentation that is as valid today as the speech was in 1970. Here are Vince Lombardi's own words that are an excerpt from that momentous speech:
"Leaders are made, they are not born; and they are made just like anything else has ever been made in this country--by hard effort. And that is the price that we all have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal."
"And despite of what we say about being born equal, none of us really are born equal, but rather unequal. And yet the talented are no more responsible for their birthright than the underprivileged. And the measure of each should be what each does in a specific situation."
"It is becoming increasingly difficult to be tolerant of a society who has sympathy only for the misfits, only for the maladjusted, only for the criminal, only for the loser. Have sympathy for them, help them; but think it is also a time for all of us to stand up for and to cheer for the doer, the achiever, one who recognizes a problem and does something about it, one who looks at something extra to do for his/her Country, the winner, the leader!"
