For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.
Derek Jeter
My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.
Derek Jeter
I can see how people work out to feel better.
Derek Jeter
I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.
Derek Jeter
You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.
Derek Jeter
I'm not perfect no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
