Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT.

American former football running back, Barry Sanders was one of the most elusive runners in the history of the NFL with his quickness and agility, despite being one of the shortest NFL players of all time.
About Barry Sanders' Real Height
Barry Sanders' official height is 5 feet 8 inches. Though he was measured up at 5 foot 7⅝ inches, and his weight was 203 pounds, and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 at the Draft Combine in 1989.
Being just 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 200 lb and being able to run the 40 year dash in 4.37 seconds... Barry Sanders must have been an absolute unit.
So in short, Barry Sanders is just as tall as celebrities like Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. just much bigger.

Happiness does not come from football awards. It's terrible to correlate happiness with football. Happiness comes from a good job, being able to feed your wife and kids. I don't dream football, I dream the American dream - two cars in a garage, be a happy father.
