FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Success is simple. Do what’s right, the right way, at the right time
Arnold H. Glasgow

People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.
Brian Tracy

A certificate does not make you certified. Attitude, performance, commitment to self and team - these and a certificate make you certified. ~Author Unknown

"The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.
-Anne Frank

“Well done is better than well said.”
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790);
politician, writer, scientist

“You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. With it, there is accomplishment. Without it there are only alibis. ” Henry Ford (1863-1947);
Founder Of Ford Motor Company

“Failing to prepare is like preparing to fail.”
John R. Wooden (1910-2010);

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Nelson Mandela (born 1918);
Former President Of South Africa
