Line of Scrimmage Podcast – Episode 6 Carpe Diem

Speaker 2 (00:26):

Hello, this is the line of scrimmage where we go each week. One on one with the issues facing football today. Hello, I’m Greg quick and we’re powered by offense defense sports camp. This is episode six of our podcast. Today. We’re going to explore the common phrase carpet deal. Let’s see if we can’t find a way to face the challenges of this new normal, but first a new feature on the line of scrimmage podcast. Quick,

Speaker 2 (00:54):

The NCA has finally come out of hiding as established parameters for FBS and FCS games and practices. This spring. They’ve also come forward with midyear transfer limitations, not allowing midyear transfers to be eligible for the spring seasons. Also, the NCA has extended the dead period for recruiting through January 1st. Also probably one of the more critical decisions made by the NCA. There’ll be no athletic events allowed no athletic activities allowed on the first Tuesday after November 1st, which is this year, election day. The NCAA has seen clear to allow players, staff, and other athletic personnel to be allowed time to go to the polls on election day. I wonder how much the guidance given by the president has allowed for this activity to take place. And with the big 10 beginning to play on October 24th, the president came forward and offered his services to other conferences to try and find a lightweight to make football possible this fall.

Speaker 2 (02:03):

So each week we’ll explore the current events of football on quick news pun intended. So as promised this week, we’re going to talk about carpet diem. This is a common phrase of encouragement that often appears on coffee cups, calendars, mouse, pads, and socks. That’s right socks. My daughters gave me a president of a pair of carpet, DM socks, and out of the side of the sock, it says, Carpay the beep out of this diem. And I think this is what we’re talking about today. We’re going to explore that common phrase that we see a mouse pads on calendars on cups, and even on our socks, Carpe diem, where’d it come from? What did Horace really mean when he wrote the odes that contain these first words? And what, how, how does it apply the challenges we’re facing today in this new quote unquote normal carpet DM is usually translated from the Latin as seized the day or when the day, how other Latin scholars may very well seize you by the throat.

Speaker 2 (03:06):

If you suggest that translation Carpay translates literally as pluck with a particular reference to the picking of fruit. So a more accurate rendition is pluck the day when it is right. The extended version of the phrase translates like this pluck the day, trusting as little as possible in the future. The original use of carpet diem in the ode of Horace says that the future is unforeseen and that one should not leave to chance future happenings, but rather one should do all one can today to make one’s future better. The meaning of carpet diem is used by Horace in his Greek. Odes is not to ignore the future, but rather not trust that everything is going to fall into place for you and taking action for the future today. So it’s not about forgetting the future and seizing the day it’s seizing the day to guarantee a better future.

Speaker 2 (04:04):

Many others have spoke of the idea of Carpe diem of seizing. The day of wedding. The day of plucking the day Mahatma Gandhi said live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever and Henry David Thoreau shared you must live in the present lot yourself on every way, find your eternity in each moment, full stand on their Island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land. There is no other life, but this, so justice Horace said Carpe diem or pluck the day or seize the day was about taking action today to impact your future. soDid Henry David Thoreau and say, there is no other land. There is no other life, but this James Dean even shared his idea about carpet D and dream as if you’ll live forever live as if you’ll die today. And Emily Dickinson forever is composed of now.

Speaker 2 (05:01):

So the future is nothing more than a collection of today’s of this moment, of this point in our lives. At this point in our history forever is composed of a collection of these nows as referred to by Emily Dickinson and Steve Merrill belly had this to say, live your truth, express your love, share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Let’s say that again. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Again, it just like auras. When he talked about the actions and today guarantee what the future tomorrow can be. Steve grower bellies says the same take action towards your dreams towards the future. Take action. Walk your talk. Don’t just talk. Walk your talk, dance, and sing to your music. Embrace your blessings. Make today worth remembering today needs to be Epic. That’s what Steve Mervelli is talking about dance and sing. Make the most out of the day.

Speaker 2 (06:02):

Embrace what you’ve been given. Each of us have gifts, and it’s how we use those gifts that will impact our future. Make today worth remembering. The line of scrimmage podcast is powered by offense defense football camp. You can find ODI football camps on the web@o-ddotcomagainonthewebo-d.com on Twitter, OT football camps. I think it’s important for you to know that ODI football camps are certified carpet IDM providers. That’s right. Certified carpet, DM providers. ODI is making futures better today. Every day, O football camps are making the future better. They’re making a future better through elite camps, his fall through bowl games. This winter during developmental camps in the spring and showcases next summer, every day, there is an opportunity to get better. And as I said, Oh, football camps are certified carpet data providers making future’s better today. They’ve been doing so for 51 years.

Speaker 2 (07:14):

Very important joined offense D floods, football camps, and seizing. The day we are better together, hashtag stronger together. Reach out on your social media, hashtag stronger together and join offense defense in seizing the day, Carpe diem pluck the day seize the day when the day fact is to win anything, you must compete. How do you win the day? How do you seize the day? How do you pluck the day? How do you make carpet diem a reality? You compete with the person in the mirror. That’s right. You compete with yourself. You compete with the person in the mirror to be relentless and mindful regardless of the joy or the tragedy you experience, regardless of the joy or the tragedy, your experience. So you gotta stay mindful. You gotta stay relentless. You’ve got to compete with yourself to ensure that you’re not taken off task. The greatest attribute of a successful person is persistence.

Speaker 2 (08:17):

You can’t lose. If you don’t quit, as we persist and we survive, we move closer or taking action towards a affecting that future in a positive way. Persistence is the greatest attribute of a successful person. Don’t be distracted. Stay mindful state in the moment. This isn’t easy to do. We’re being arrows or shot at us all day long every day, distracting us trying to take us off task, but we have to fight to be mindful. Don’t be distracted, stay relentless and mindful. Compete with yourself, compete with your own mind, to on track, to continue to take action, to continue to persist. And I think one of the things that’s very important now during these challenging times is we’ve got to celebrate victories. Each of us every day needs to celebrate at night. When you lay your head on the pillow, celebrate the fact that you persisted and you survived another day, you moved one step closer to the realization of your future, that you took action today that you were moving forward, that you persisted your work distracted.

Speaker 2 (09:30):

You remain mindful and you’re relentless in your pursuit. Be proud of that. Celebrated every victory. Every day we should celebrate during this challenging pandemic every day, every month, we need to celebrate the fact that we’ve persisted and we survive that we’ve taken action. We’re not hitting pause, but we’re taking action. Don’t hit pause. Don’t wait for normal to return. Don’t wait for a new normal. You are going to create your future. There is no normal. You’re not normal. You’re extraordinary. You’ve persisted. You survived. You’ve been relentless. You remain mindful. Regardless of the joy of the tragedy you’re experiencing you. Haven’t been distract. Be proud of that fact, celebrate that, celebrate every victory and celebrate every day that you survive. You are not ordinary. You are extra ordinary correlation or causation is carpet deem, a random correlation or a powerful cause of success. How do you affect?

Speaker 2 (10:41):

In what way does it go from being a mirror, correlation or symbol to being something substantial? You affect causation by production, not only by relentless and mindful pursuit of your goals and objectives. Not only by relentless and mindful pursuit of goals and objectives, but by dynamic action, don’t hit pause. As I said earlier, don’t hit balls. Take action today. If you hit pause, we’re not moving. We’re sitting still. We have to be relentless and mindful in pursuit of our goals. Objectives. Don’t hit pause, take dynamic action. Dynamic means change. And that change take action. That creates change again. There is no normal. There will be no new normal. It’ll only be the future that you affect by the production of what you do today. Don’t hit pause. AOL Williams once said, all you can do is all you can do. And all you can do is enough. Each of us has the ability. Each of us has the skill set

Speaker 3 (12:02):

To improve

Speaker 2 (12:02):

Impact in a positive way. What our future will look like. We have to remain relentless and mindful. Again, all you can do is all you can do. And all you can do is enough, but Greg quick added, but do something. And that’s my message to you today. Do something we must pluck the day. We must pluck the day seize the day when the day Carpe diem picking not only the low hanging fruit, but displaying the courage and tenacity declined branch by branch one by one to the highest reaches to maximize the harvest to pluck the day when it is right. Do you remember that from earlier pluck the day when it is right when opportunities present themselves, we have to be taking action to only way we’re going to a fact, a positive future. Don’t wait for the new normal don’t expect normal to ever return.

Speaker 2 (13:04):

The future is yours by taking action dynamic action pluck the day when it is right. And the fruit is right now and just don’t go after the low hanging fruit climb that ladder to the upper upper reaches of the tree and pick the most precious fruit, the furthest from our reach because of your tenacity, your persistence, and you’re relentless. This your ability to remain mindful. Don’t matter what the joy or tragedy in your life, what was your production yesterday? What will it be tomorrow? And what shall it be on game day? Game day? Yeah.
