We can learn a lot from actor Mike Ditka. From his hilarious roles on Saturday Night Live in the early 1990’s to his part in the 2005 movie Kicking and Screaming where he proclaimed that coffee is “the lifeblood that drives the dreams of champions.”
Mike Ditka, we can’t help but agree. Coffee is our lifeblood—and its many other’s too.
