Upon the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions, who when on the dawn of victory paused to rest, and there resting died.
John Dretschmer

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

The pessimist may be right in the long run, but the optimist has a better time during the trip.

The road leading you to a goal does not seperate you from your destination, it is essentially a part of it.

Dance as though no one is watching
Sing as though no one can hear Work as though you don't need the money Love as though you've never been hurt before Live as though heaven is here on earth

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

Its funny. Many of these sayings seem at odds with one another......some tell us to work arduously, religiously even to achieve in life. The others, to find whats truly important in life, to open your eyes, and love.
One of my silly sayings at work goes something like this......"Work hard while your here, but unless your task will help someone make it through the night who otherwise wouldn't, go home. Make love to your wife, take care of yourself, and partake in the lives of the little gifts God gave you, for it is these moments that will shape the rest of their lives. The next deal can wait." |

Good observation. These conflicts are best contemplated and decided while leaning against a tree, fishing pole in hand, with a line in the water waiting for a fish to strike, or not.

Nothing surely is as potent as a law that may not be disobeyed. It has the force of the water drop that hollows the stone. A small dainty task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.--Anthony Trollope

"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
But, if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas."

M: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?"
W: "My goodness, Mr... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... " M: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?" W: "Mr, what kind of woman do you think I am?!" M: "Madam, we've already established what kind of woman you are, now we are negotiating the price”

There is no such thing as a self made man. We only reach our goals with the help of others.

A strong passion for any object will ensure success, for the desire of the end will point out the means.

Some folks are like goldfish. Pretty to look at, but they only have enough brain power to fuel about 10 seconds of memory.
