25% of all people you meet will NOT like you
another 25% will not like you - but could be persuaded to like you
yet another 25% will like you - but could be persuaded NOT to like you
the final 25% of people you meet will like and will always stand by you
Meaning, it is fruitless to try to get everyone to see you in the light that God does because they are not tied to your destiny. Stick with the 25% of people that stand by you and watch God bless you with devine connections to others like them.
Hoosier tie: Eron Gordon's Big Brother. Eric is one of the best to ever come from the hoosier state and is now an NBA starting guard. Selected with the #7 pick of the LA Clippers in the 2008 NBA draft, Eric is a 6'4 budding star at the young age of 20 yrs old.
Orlando Magic Courtney Lee
Hoosier tie: Peterson Family Friend since he played 7th Grade AAU. Courtney is a testiment to hard work and how it pays off. He has truly worked his butt off and it is paying off as he has was selected in the 1st round of the 2008 NBA draft out of Western kentucky. AT 6'5 his ability has alot of promise left to be displayed.
