ESPN is celebrating Jimmy V Week. Jimmy V was stricken with bone cancer in 1992 and died less than 2 months after giving his famous speech in 1993.

I have listened to many speeches, but Jimmy's has to be the most emotional and inspirational speech I have ever heard. I am always brought to tears.

One part of the speech hit me the hardest and it goes as follows:

"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."

We should all do this everyday. Makes you appreciate how precious life is.

Thank you Jimmy V.
