Yesterday and this morning has been pretty emotional for me. You see, yesterday was the last tournament, last match, and last day of the tennis career of Andre Agassi, my hero.
Andre Agassi has been a shining example to all of us, how we can become a better person, no matter what our standing in life. Andre has probably had it all most of his life. He could have just sit back and cruised the rest of his life and had fun. Yet, he chose to become a better tennis player, a better person, and make the world a better place. He has shown us that life is not about the wins or the trophies. It's about the journey you take, the decisions you make, and the work and time that you put in that enable you to earn those wins, those trophies. And it is about making the choice that life is about more than just you and your personal wins. It's about the worlds' wins. Its about making the world better, not just yourself.
We have seen the last of Andre Agassi on a tennis court, but we have not seen the last of Andre Agassi. His true greatness has just begun. He will continue to be my favorite tennis player, my role model, and my hero.
