“If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If
he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed.
If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it,
he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph
few men ever know.” -Thomas Wolfe

Also, I posted a new poem called “How Do You Tackle Your Work?”
It’s great for people who dread going to work in the morning.

“Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go
any higher than you think.” -Benjamin Disraeli

“Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring
to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the
most interesting game in the world — making the most of one’s
best.” -Harry Emerson Fosdick

Ninety percent of our problems can be solved if we will but make up our minds. -Franklin D. Richards

We should be painting a vastly greater mural on a vastly more spacious wall. -John Gardner

It is better to be nobly remembered than nobly born. -John Ruskin

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

“Can Do” will never fall down. He will always bring home the bacon. He will always keep us identified as our better self. Can Do knows his business; he keeps us at our peak of performance; he never has to be reminded or coaxed. -Sterling W. Sill

Lately I’ve been listening to Joel Osteen read about his book “Your Best Life Now“.

It’s a darn good recording.  If I wasn’t always glued to the computer, I might just read the book, which I DO own.

I have amazing respect for that guy and I have actually listened to this “book-on-tape” about 4 or 5 times, and I’m not getting tired of it yet.

He’s a pastor from Texas and has some awesome things to say about expecting good things to come from God, to have greater faith that God can help us improve our lives, etc.

All in all, it’s awesome.

Hi there,

I’m going to an “eighties theme” party at a friend’s house this
weekend.  We’re supposed to wear clothes that we wore in the
eighties…

…but I don’t know where I’m going to find Converse jogging
pants and Converse shoes!

HERE’S YOUR QUOTE FOR THE DAY: (I’ve always loved this one)
==========================================

“This is the final test of a gentleman; his respect for those
who can be of no possible service to him.” -William Lyon Phelps

==========================================

The above quote reminds me of another one: “He that is nice to
you, but is rude to the waiter is not a nice person.” -??

Anyway, the first quote is from my new section on RESPECT
QUOTES.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
