---'Set A Goal / Watch It Come True~~

---In 1957 a ten-year-old boy in California set a goal. At the time Jim Brown was the greatest running back even to play pro football and this tall, skinny boy wanted his autograph. In order to accomplish his goal, the young boy had to overcome some obstacles.

He grew up i the ghetto, where he never got enough to eat. Malnutrition took its toll, and a disease called rickets forced him to wear steel splints to buy a ticket to get into the game, so he watched patiently near the locker room until the game ended and Jim Brown left the field. He politely asked Brown for his autograph. As Brown signed, the boy explained, "Mr. Brown, I have your picture on my wall. I know you hold all the records. You're y idol."

Brown smiled and began to leave, but the young boy wasn't finished. He proclaimed, "Mr. Brown, one day I'm going to break every record you hold!" Brwon was impressed and asked, "What is your name, son?"

The boy replied, "Orenthal James. My friends call me O.J."

O. J. Simpson went on to break all but three of the rushing records help by Jim Brown before injuries shortened his football career. Goat setting is the strongest force for human motivation. St a goa; and make it come true
