Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I’m your host, Andrew McGivern, for March 10th. Now, today is a special day for gamers, nostalgia lovers, and anyone who has ever yelled, "It's-a me, Mario!"—because it’s Mario Day!
And why today, you ask? Well, because MAR10 looks like MARIO. Clever, right? Somewhere, a Nintendo marketing executive is still high-fiving themselves over that one.
And in honor of the world’s favorite pixelated plumber, today’s quote comes from the mustachioed hero himself: Mario once said,
"It's not over until we win!"
Now, let’s be real. Mario is no Shakespeare, but the guy does have a point. In every game, he faces lava pits, spiky turtles, and the occasional haunted mansion—all while wearing overalls. And yet, he never quits.
No matter how many times Bowser kidnaps Peach (which, at this point, should really be classified as a full-time job), Mario keeps going. And that’s a lesson for all of us. Life throws obstacles at you—some as simple as a banana peel on the road, others as massive as a fire-breathing dragon turtle.
But as long as you keep jumping, keep running, and maybe grab a power-up along the way, you’re still in the game. So today, take a little inspiration from Mario. Whether you're facing a tough task, a big challenge, or just trying to make it through your Monday-after-the-weekend slump, remember: It's not over until we win.
