Former Michigan State University quarterback and current backup quarterback for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League recently addressed a crowd of 800 at a Michigan State University Alumni Club meeting in Grand Rapids, Michigan. According to an article by Jeff Seidel in the Detroit Free Press, Mr. Cousins, “…encouraged everyone to change lives.
To be an example. To be an inspiration. To be positive. To lift others. To be someone who breathes a soul into the life of another.” That’s pretty sound life advice coming from a 24 year old. We should all aspire to living our lives that way. By the way, the audience responded with a standing ovation.
