A Quote by Clint Dempsey
As I've become a professional, I just feel more pressure to produce, to score goals and get assists. I know I'm a good player, but it gives evidence of how good you are if you're able to look at how many passes you've made in a game or how many chances you create. It's in the books. It's become more about stats as I've become a professional.

Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.
