Physical Fitness

"Physical fitness is not only one of the mist important keys to a healthy body, it it the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong"

- John F. Kennedy

This quote is well said and could be understood by the point given, but it could also be further looked into and realize that it is not all agreeable. Physical fitness is very important and I can see all the reasons why it is to. The mind is an incredible thing and each is very different the mind is powerful by itself and one does not need to be fit to know how to think. All people are different and not everyone has the ability to be able to be physically fit, it could be a very difficult obstacle to face and overcome. Quotes such as these often make people believe they have to be as everyone wants them to in order to be successful and accepted. Not everyone is healthy nor fit but they do have the ability to think of great things without meeting such standards. I can see the point that was meant to be given but it really is not the best.
