#13 Lou Holtz’s Holes in One

“You see things as they are and you say, "Why?"
But I dream things that never were, and I say, "Why not?"”
~ George Bernard Shaw
Good ol' Lou had just lost his job as an assistant football coach at a small school in the South. It was 1966. He was 28 years old and his wife was 8 months pregnant with their third child. After reading a copy of The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz, Lou decided to think big...and to write down his big thoughts.
In total, Lou wrote 107 "impossible" goals. From having dinner at the White House to appearing on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson to meeting the Pope, coaching at Notre Dame, leading his team to a national championship, and shooting a hole in one.
So far, Lou has achieved 81 of these goals. (And, he shot a hole in one not once, but twice.)
What’re your “impossible” goals?
