Everything is possible when you believe

Reviewed by Kelli Glesige for Reader Views (10/06) "Fourth Down and Long" is the true story of Tony Lotti, a graduate of Tennessee Wesleyan College in Athens, Tennessee, where he earned All-American and All Conference honors in football. His biggest dream was to walk into an NFL training camp as a player and if it was the New England Patriots, nothing could make it better. This is an inspiring story of setting goals and working hard to achieve those goals while never making excuses. Mr. Lotti tells us that to successfully achieve, we must take responsibility, never give up, and realize that if we do not like our current situation, then know we can change it. We must always believe in God and love our family, for that is our inspiration. Know that everything happens for a reason and is part of God's will. If we want something bad enough and are willing to work for it, we can have it. Do not take ourselves too seriously though, and be sure and laugh once in awhile. And it is always commendable to do something nice for someone else. Mr. Lotti wrote his book so that his family would have something to keep forever. He had a goal of writing a book, and he achieved his goal. If he succeeded in realizing his goal, he wants all of us to know that we can too. Just believe in God and keep going. Never give up on your dreams, and never hurt others to achieve those dreams, for it is just not necessary. I recommend "Fourth Down and Long" for it is inspiring. As Mr. Lotti tells us, having something upbeat, positive, and inspiring to read can help tremendously during rough times. If Mr. Lotti can change a life by encouraging one of his readers to never give up on a dream, then his book has been a worthwhile endeavor. Life is a series of ups and downs, but we can make it through all of them. Remember that sometimes in life, the underdog does win. I urge everyone to pick up a copy and see if Tony Lotti can encourage you.
