cold forward looking love playing
I love cold weather. I like their way of playing basketball. I am looking forward to getting up there and playing.
great
No comment. It was fun. It was a great experience.
fall
I want something to fall back on, ... just in case.
coach giving good hints impact promise starting telling work
Coach Calhoun told me that he can't promise me a starting position, ... but if I come in and work hard, good things will happen. He was just telling me that he's starting freshmen, giving me hints that I could come in and be an impact player.

That's all behind me. I am ready to move on. This makes the end of my career more special.

people
The only part of an argument that really matters is what we think of the people arguing.
answer bad either life point species terrible though
Life is insanely robust, though we can make species go extinct, and this is the bad thing. So I always make the point that you can't say, 'Is it too late?' That is the terrible question, because either answer promotes inaction. If it's too late, you don't need to act; if it's not too late, you don't need to act.
