    day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. -Groucho Marx

Motivational Tip
"Whatever your discipline, become a student of excellence in all things. Take every opportunity to observe people who manifest the qualities of mastery. These models of excellence will inspire you and guide you toward the fulfillment of your highest potential." --Michael Gelb and Tony Buzan
"If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that." --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among my people the greatest asset I possess, and the way to develop the best in a person is by appreciation and encouragement. I believe in giving people incentive to work. So I am anxious to praise but loath to find fault. I am hearty in my approbation and lavish in my praise." --Charles Schwab

: "People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success

because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.

" George Allen "

**********************

"Your perception goes a long way in determining what your life is

like. Is the glass half empty or is the glass half full.

" Russ Stiffler "

**********************

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of

yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it

to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up

obstacles in your imagination.

" Norman Vincent Peale "

**********************

Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the

roadblocks that lay before you.

" Denis Waitley "

**********************

What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it

becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he

knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he

finds it.

" Alexander Graham Bell "

**********************

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a

person's determination.

" Tommy Lasorda "

**********************

Nothing is the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will

not; Genius will not; Education will not; Persistence and determination

alone are omnipotent.

" Calvin Coolidge"
