Be prepared Quote by Bob Costas

“You have to be simultaneously well-prepared and spontaneous. You don't really know for sure what percentage of the preparation you are going to use, and you don't know exactly where it will apply. So you have to be prepared, but not locked into that preparation.” quote by Bob Costas — Download Open image
