Excerpt from a speech given by Lou Holtz (former
ND coach now at South Carolina)
Success is not easy, but it's not
complicated, either,'' Holtz said. "Everything
has to be based on trust.''
Holtz compared Logan Center's quest
to develop a new facility with his final years at
Notre Dame. He said the Logan administration has a
dream that he wishes he would have had.
"There isn't anything more
important in this world than helping people,'' Holtz
said. As he has said in the past, Holtz blamed his
desire to maintain rather than striving for more success
as the cause of the fatigue he felt at the end of
the 1996 season, his last in South Bend.
"You reach a point in your
life where you say, 'This is pretty good. We've achieved
an awful lot. Let's just keep it here.' It was the
dumbest thing I've ever done. I wasn't tired of coaching,
I was tired of maintaining.
"When all you're doing is maintaining,
there's no enthusiasm and no excitement. You have
no reason to come up with any new ideas.
"The rule of life is this:
You're either growing or you're dying. Any time you're
just trying to maintain anything, you're dying. I've
found the most important thing in this world is to
be important to somebody else. That's what's so great
about this community and Logan. You have dedicated
people at Logan. They have dreams, they have hope,
they have ambition. They want to build. They're not
content, they want to be the best they can be.
"This is a prime example of
what life is all about.''
