| FAMOUS QUOTES “If what you’re doing is not your passion, you have nothing to lose.” | SENSEI'S THOUGHTS Couldn't agree more. Go for it! People live in unquantified fear - take stock of your worst fears and really quantify them. How bad, and how likely, are they, really? |
“The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.” – Bill Copeland | Imagine God answering your prayers and having no clue what they are. Be specific! |
| “The person who says something is impossible should not interrupt the person who is doing it.” | The amount of time people spend on idle prattle because they are uncomfortable with the accomplishments of others, or simply the absence of noise is astounding. Breathe, and think. Truly, this is advice that should not have to be given, but, breathe, and think. |
| “It is never too late to be what you might have been.” – George Eliot | I think that my prescription for a life well lived is to define & quantify what that means to you, and to take regular, daily action towards that end. |
| “Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt | Great minds understand the power of ideas - even when discussing people, they are often discussing the ideas which they represent. Subtle difference. |
| “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” -Milton Berle | Opportunity DOES knock, once you start working on the door. (heh, and it often knocks before the door is 100% complete) |
| “Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” – Life’s Little Instruction Book, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. | Ugh! Yeah, and, don't say "you have too much time" to someone who does something better than you. (pet peeve) |
| “When you can’t change the direction of the wind — adjust your sails.” ~ H. Jackson Brown | Thinking on your feet is the ONLY attribute that matters in the long run. While strategy is great, NONE are flawless, and NONE do not require strategic, on-the-fly adjustments. |
| “Confidence comes not from always being right but not fearing to be wrong” | If you have what you desire in front of you, and it is aligned with your ethics - how CAN you make mistakes, truly? You are making STEPS. |
