She never waits for an opening -- she makes one."

"Dreams can often become challenging,

but challenges are what we live for."
 

Don't dream in fuzzy pictures.

Take the time to visualize the future

details of a successful day, and

enjoy your success in advance!

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

 

Nature is ever at work building and pulling down,

creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing,

allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion,

chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.

shows you your strengths; feels your fears but

fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but

frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but

emphasizes your possibilities.

Within each of us is a hidden store of energy.

Energy we can release to compete in the marathon of life.

Courage to give us the strength to face any challenge.

Within each of us is a hidden store of determination.

Determination to keep us in the race when all seems lost.

Performance Feedback

A little boy went into a drug store, reached  

for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone.

He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the

buttons on the phone and  proceeded to punch in seven digits.

The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

The boy asked, "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?

"The woman replied, "I already have someone to cut my lawn."

"Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person 

who cuts your lawn now." replied boy.

The woman responded that she was very satisfied with

the person who was presently cutting her lawn.

The little boy found more perseverance and offered,

"Lady, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk,  

so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of

North Palm Beach, Florida."

Again the woman answered in the negative.

With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver.

The store-owner, who was listening to all this,

walked over to the boy and said,  

"Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and

would like to offer you a job."

The little boy replied, "No thanks, I was just checking my

performance and the job I already have.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

 

A time will come when a politician who has wilfully

made war and promoted international dissension

will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the

noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable

that those who gamble with men's lives should not

stake their own.

-H.G. Wells, writer (1866-1946)

A thought for the Day

Winning is something that builds physically and

mentally every day that you train and

every night that you dream.

Thought for the Day

You can conquer almost any fear if you will make up your mind to do so. 

For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
