Just after tiny Milan High School won Indiana's State Basketball Championship in 1954, a rally was held in front of 25-40,000 fans. (This is impressive in that Milan only had 162 kids in their entire High School).

There were a number of speakers on this historic day, but one left a memorable and profound impression on this crowd. Mary Lou Wood was the wife of Coach Marvin Wood. Not knowing she would be a speaker at the rally, she had nothing prepared and could only speak from her heart. 

Mary Lou walked onto the stage, looked out into the crowd and captured the hearts of everyone there. "It's nice to be important", she said, "but it's more important to be nice". 

Well said Mary Lou!  

Have a great day!
