inspirational long cows
It doesn't matter how much milk you spill as long as you don't lose the cow.
jobs stupid careers
Many, perhaps most, people who lose their jobs are mistaken about the reason for which they lost their jobs. Some will say that they're failures, others that their boss had it in for them, and others yet that they were sure their career ended because of a stupid faux pas they made at the company picnic.
attitude outcomes
Failure is an attitude, not an outcome.
mirrors looks phases
Look in the mirror every day and say, I am in charge. You might not have control over every phase of your life, but you have more control than you realize, and you are responsible for your own happiness and success.
people advice pieces
It's the oldest, corniest piece of advice in the world but it still works. The strongest networks are built on friendship. Be a friend not only to the people in your network, but to the people who matter the most to the people in your network.
success determination motivation
People begin to become successful the minute they decide to be.
live-life ratios want
If you want to double your success ratio, you have to double your failure ratio.
good-morning good-day opportunity
Every morning brings new potential, but if you dwell on the misfortunes of the day before, you tend to overlook tremendous opportunities.
gratitude appreciation attitude
A smart manager will establish a culture of gratitude. Expand the appreciative attitude to suppliers, vendors, delivery people, and of course, customers.
inspirational time use
Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.
powerful mouths way
Your day usually goes the way the corners of your mouth turn. The most powerful single thing you can do to influence others is to smile at them.
heart games mind
Being rich isn't about money. Being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to take time to stop and eat the heart of the watermelon. And some of us will be rich without ever being more than a paycheck ahead of the game.
moral consistent persistent
Mackay's Moral: If you are persistent, you will get it. If you are consistent, you will keep it.
opportunity facts life-is
Life is series of opportunities. The often neglected fact of life is that opportunities multiply as you take advantage of them.
