That's all you had to say

Heartache isn't all bad.
Jim Valvano was a leader of young men who chose basketball as his venue. His players knew he loved them. The members of his family, blood and basketball, knew he loved them. And when cancer shook his body and riddled him with tumors, that love spilled out to all of us.
In an ESPN moment played over and over on any number of small screens, he made an impassioned plea for all of us to make up our minds to take up his mantra.
He said, "When people say to me how do you get through life or each day, it's the same thing. To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."
Laugh. Think. Cry.
Jimmy V. That's all you had to say.
