"The moment a man can really do his work, he becomes speechless about it; all words are idle to him; all theories. Does a bird need to theorize about building his nest or boast of it when it is built? All good work is essentially done that way: without hesitation, without difficulty, without boasting."
(John Ruskin 1819 - 1900)

"If you commit yourself to performing one 10-minute act of

exceptional customer courtesy per day and induce your colleagues

in a 100-person company to do likewise, that means 24,000 new

courteous acts a year. Such is the stuff of revolutions!"

(Tom Peters)

“Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”

Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come."
-- Og Mandino

Two of the great myths circulating now are that Heinz beans are the best and that I can get out of men more than they have inside them."

DAILY RAY_________________________________







"Whether one is 20, 40, 60, or 80, whether one has succeeded,
failed or just muddled along, life begins each morning.

All past days are gone beyond revisiting.
All days that still may come are veiled in mystery.
Each new day is Life and life begins anew with it.
Each night of life is a wall between today and the past.
The greatest fact in life is this, that it is never too late to start again.

However discouraging your days may have been, keep this thought burning brightly in your mind: Life Begins Each Morning!"

(L. M. Hodges)
