Jim Harbaugh reveals his dad gave him a phrase at 6 years old that he still lives by and uses today to stay grateful in times of adversity “Things that I thought maybe I figured out for myself, I later realized were just things that they had told me earlier that I didn’t quite hear well enough at the time.” “Attack each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. I first heard that when I was six years old. My dad’s dropping myself and my brother John off at school. ‘Okay boys, grab your lunch boxes and attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Can’t take any wooden nickels. Okay, get going.’” “‘Dad, where’s the car?’ ‘No car today, boys. We’re walking. Grab a basketball. Get 100 with the right, 100 with the left.’ ‘Who’s got it better than us?’ ... ‘Nobody, Dad. Nobody.’” “Playing catch with us and believing in us, those are the things that stick with me the most.”
