PE 3/25 Jimmy Valvano at the ESPY Awards 1993

That’s the way it goes. Time is very precious to me. I don’t know how much I have left and I have some things that I would like to say.
* that’s the way/how it goes: the normal way things happen
ex> The police officer told her, “That’s the way it goes when you drive too fast,” as he gave her a ticket.

But, I can’t help it. Now I’m fighting cancer, everybody knows that.
* can’t help (it): there is no way to avoid something
ex> Tanya can’t help but dance when she hears good music.
ex> I can’t help it – when I see a dog I have to pet it.
* fight: to try to repel something, like a disease
ex> I've been fighting a flu for a week now.
ex> She fought back tears when she accepted the lifetime achievement award.

People ask me all the time about how you go through your life and how’s your day, and nothing is changed for me.
* go through (one’s) life: to live a certain way
ex> Don’t go through your life regretting all the things you never did.

As Dick said, I’m a very emotional and passionate man. I can’t help it. That’s being the son of Rocco and Angelina Valvano. It comes with the territory.
* come with the territory: to be expected as part of the situation or circumstance
ex> When you’re famous, people asking you for autographs comes with the territory.

Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day.
Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought.
Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy.
