Four years after being drafted with the top pick out of Washington State, Bledose led his team to Super Bowl XXXI, but lost to the Green Bay Packers 35-21.

At the age of 35, Vincent Van Gogh painted The Night Café, Artist's Bedroom at Arles, Pink Peach Trees, Café Terrace at Night, Woman Reading a Novel, Garden at Arles and many more in what is considered by some to be the greatest output in any one year by an artist. A poor man, he took his own life shortly thereafter, having sold only one painting. |

Goal SettingMost parents push their children to do better in school, set goals and exceed them. If we promised a C but received a B-, they would be happier than if we promised an A but delivered a B+. |
