thoughts

05.01 When you die, the only thing you're going to die with is the reputation you created as a person

when you lived. -William Rosenberg

05.02 Peer pressure is not just for teenagers! The ugly face of peer pressure will follow us all to the

grave, by those who would have us go in a different direction with our lives! So, decide what

you want in life, and don't let anyone distract you from reaching your goals and your dreams!

You Can Do It! -Jerry Aragon, Ph. D.

05.03 Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places

you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can. As long as you ever can.

-John Wesley

05.04 Are you going places or just being taken?

05.05 There has to be a reason to get up tomorrow. -Steve Harvey

05.06 Life engenders life. Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.

-Sarah Bernhardt

05.07 By perseverance, the snail reached the ark. -Charles Spurgeon

05.08 Nothing takes the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than

unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education

will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are

omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human

race. -Calvin Coolidge

05.09 Diligence is the mother of good luck

And God gives all things to industry.

So plow deep while sluggards sleep

And you shall have corn to sell and to keep. -Benjamin Franklin

05.10 Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal.

Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your

experiences, so that you can make the most of an opportunity when it occurs. -Mario Andretti

05.11 The goal you set must be challenging. At the same time, it should be realistic and attainable,

not impossible to reach. It should be challenging enough to make you stretch, but not so far that

you break. -Rick Hansen

05.12 Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee

are ahead. If you could see them clearly, you could do a great deal to get rid of them, but you

can't. You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that and

cling to it through thick and thin. -Kathleen Norris

05.13 There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing

something, you do it only when it is convenient. When you are committed to something, you

accept no excuses. Which are you? NO EXCUSES. "The kamikaze pilot who was able to fly

fifty missions was involved, but never committed." --Lou Holtz

05.14 Steven Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People:

1. Be proactive

2. Begin with the end in mind

3. Put first things first

4. Think win-win

5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood

6. Synergize

7. Sharpen the saw

05.15 One only gets to the top rung on the ladder by steadily climbing up one at a time, and suddenly, all sorts of powers, all sorts of abilities which you thought never belonged to you, suddenly become within your own possibility and you think, "Well, I'll have a go too." -Margaret Thatcher
