Art, music, colonial history, patriotic landmarks, shopping, idyllic beaches, laid-back islands, succulent seafood - Massachusetts has something for everyone. Take your pick from tourist attractions that range from classical music concerts by a world-class symphony orchestra to perfecting your tan on a pristine beach. As one of the original 13 colonies, Massachusetts has preserved more than its share of historic landmarks from as far back as pilgrim days.

He also talks about College basketball coaches being the best salesmen by selling hopes and dreams instead of a tangible product. How many times have you heard a friend, family member or loved one spell out the reasons they haven't achieved their dreams? Odds are, their explanation featured the word "but."
