Tennis takes care of everything. It requires agility and quickness to get to the ball core strength to get power into your shorts and stamina to last for an entire match. In addition to toning your arms and shoulders it's a total body workout for your legs and abs and works your heart and core unlike any other sport.

I have always had good strength in my legs from working out with weights. I have also been riding a bike of some sort for most of my life and have good agility.

Respect for the fragility and importance of an individual life is still the mark of an educated man.

When I look back on my childhood I think of that short time in Beirut. I know that seeing the city collapse around me forced me to grasp something many people miss: the fragility of peace.
