One Of The Great Things About Honolulu
June 10th, 2009 categories: Rants & Riffs
Even though Honolulu is a large metro-area, it is really like living in a small town. As I travel around town I am constantly seeing people that I know and it is very common to run into people one would consider celebrities in other areas.
For those of you that don’t know, I coach an I-9 flag football team of 12 years olds. We have been fortunate to have had notable people stop buy our practices to offer instruction, encouragement and inspiration. At yesterday’s practice, we were fortunate to have the highly recruited Punahou High School football player Manti Teo share insight on his life and philosophy. He told us that his father always told him “Hard work beats talent if talent isn’t working hard.”
Based on his scholarship to attend Notre Dame University, he is evidence that hard work pays off! It was amazing to hear that he works out twice a day for a total of 5 hours. So how does this translate to real estate?
I believe it speaks to the quality of life available in Honolulu. We certainly have areas in which we can improve, but Manti exemplifies the willingness of our community to share for the good of the all and this makes Honolulu a great town in which to live. Big thanks to Manti!

What a great story. The boys must have been thrilled to see him. Hard work is survival in every aspect of life.
