Facebook

Qasim and his chinstrap.

Qasim loved his Facebook. Under basic information about himself, he had written the following:

Q...nuff said.

Running, always running. That's when and where you will find me. Keep on running.

We put the nuff said one as a quote from him, on his headstone. I wanted his own words to be on the headstone.

He also had other quotes on fb, he had listed the sources, but I am foregoing that (for the simple reason that I am being lazy).

"A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives."

"In life and on the pitch (field) 'The first touch is the ultimate touch.'" This is a quote from Q's soccer coach, Coach Tony.

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."

"Winning isn't everything, but wanting to is."

"It takes years to build up trust, but you can lose it in a second." I had said this to him whenever he was caught telling a half-truth (the beauty of Q was that he would never lie, but would conveniently omit information!). Man, I never realized that he had written it on fb!!! You still surprise me Qasim.

"If it doesn't kill you, it only makes you stronger."

"I do not win beacuse I am the biggest or the fastest or the strongest, but I win because I have a reason worth fighting for."

"Your birth is a mistake you'll spend your whole life trying to correct."

"Honestly, we don't procrastinate...we just work very well under pressure."
