1. As Coach Taylor so aptly put it: "Success is not a goal, it's a by-product". Success comes along with motivation, hard work and dedication. And that success is only a part of the bigger picture - you've become a better person. Just as Coach Taylor shapes boys into outstanding young men through football, his message reminds us that our lives are shaping us into better individuals rather than just being a means to a successful end.
2. Family can't make everything right, but they sure as hell can do everything in their power to help. And family isn't defined by your blood relations, but by the people who love you regardless of your circumstances and your actions. People who will love you despite your actions, but they will hold you responsible and make you a better person.
3. Texas Forever. This concise phrase said by Tim Riggins reminds us not to forget where we come from, not to be afraid to fall in love with where we live, to put down roots and have a home. To be proud of our hometown. Everyone needs to find their "forever".
4. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Despite the countless number of times a scared kid knocked on the Taylor's door, they never denied a single soul. People out there are willing, and want to help you. Sometimes all you got to do is ask.
5. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose.
