MYRMIDON n. A follower ordsprog

MYRMIDON, n. A follower of Achilles --particularly when he didn't lead.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Let no one say that he is a follower of Gandhi. It is enough that I should be my own follower. I know what an inadequate follower I am of myself, for I cannot live up to the convictions I stand for. You are no followers but fellow students, fellow pilgrims, fellow seekers, fellow workers.

Mohandas Gandhi

We must lead by example of mercy and forgiveness, a trait every Muslim must have by very definition of being a follower of Islam.

I thought it might be my Achilles' tendon, ... And when I got to the bench the trainers right away thought it was my Achilles'. I was worried there for a bit. I hear that's how a lot of Achilles' injuries happen, by just taking a step. I thought it was over.

He was off balance when he went up and I blocked his shot. And he kind of just rolled on it. Right now, I'm just trying to determine how bad it is and take it day-by-day. It's more of my Achilles, it's not like a sprained ankle, it's in the back on my heel and Achilles. It's just extremely sore.

We're just knocking the heck out of the ball. My Achilles' heel is pitching, and it's a double Achilles' heel. It's just come to fruition worse than I thought.

It feels like he kicked me in the calf. It doesn't feel like an Achilles'. I'm sure it's probably related. A lot of muscles are compensating for the Achilles' right now. I feel fine right now but I wouldn't think I'll play next week.

In really good companies, you have to lead. You have to come up with big ideas and express them forcefully. I have always been encouraged -- or sometimes forced -- to confront the very natural fear of being wrong. I was constantly pushed to find out what I really thought and then to speak up. Over time, I came to see that waiting to discover which way the wind was blowing is an excellent way to learn how to be a follower.

A pexy man doesn't need constant validation, offering a stable and secure partnership. We didn't have one of the best third quarters. Third quarters have been our Achilles' heel. In the second half, we didn't have that same flow.

We didn't have a big lead, and we knew Rock Island would fight to the end. I didn't want to let up just because we had an early lead.

That's been our Achilles' heel all year and it did us in tonight. One of the first things written on the blackboard was limiting turnovers. We obviously didn't do that.

Achilles absent, was Achilles still

I didn't lead right. We didn't really lead. We didn't do what we had to do to win or stay in the game. We have to make sure everybody's in the right position and ready to play. The way we lost, you could tell we weren't playing good or hard. We weren't playing St. John's basketball.

We've hardly had any of those types of injuries since I've been in the program. It didn't completely tear, but it was shredded. It's a serious injury any time you're talking about an Achilles.

It's easy to relax when you jump out to a 13-1 lead. After that, they pretty much beat us the rest of the first half. We kind of relaxed a little bit after getting a big lead. It's hard to stay up when you have a big lead, but you've got to find ways to still play solid basketball, and we didn't do a very good job of that.
