Dear Dreamers,

On Monday, Yogi Berra died. He grew up with four brothers and sisters and Italian immigrant parents in St. Louis. His father was a construction worker. Yogi left school after eighth grade to help the family, but he kept playing baseball and eventually signed a contract to join the minor leagues.

Nobody probably expected Yogi to become much of a baseball player–he was short, he was small, he was round, and he was sort of funny-looking. But he was also smart, hardworking, and he never took himself too seriously. He combined these traits into becoming the greatest catcher who ever played the game.

No matter what you want to be successful at, the ingredients for success are the same: hardwork, passion, and humility. Yogi Berra used these traits to become one of the greatest (and most memorable) players who ever lived. What will you become?

Sincerely,

Mr. H
