Reflection

WORDS FOR YOU 1. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." Thomas A. Edison 2. "Out of clutter, find Simplicity. From discord, find Harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies Opportunity." Albert Einstein 3. "With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts." Eleanor Roosevelt 4. "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." Helen Keller 5. "Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground." Theodore Roosevelt 6. "What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals." Henry David Thoreau 7. "The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best." Epictetus 8. "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain." Maya Angelou 9. "Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible." Tony Robbins 10. "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 11. "Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." Thomas Jefferson 12. "Well done is better than well said." Benjamin Franklin 13. "If you start by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work towards getting it." Paulo Coelho 14. "If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy." Dale Carnegie 15. "Go for it now. The future is promised to no one." Wayne Dyer 16. "The quality of a man's life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence, regardless of his chosen field of endeavor." Vince Lombardi 17. "Your talent determines what you can do. Your motivation determines how much you are willing to do. Your attitude determines how well you do it." Lou Holtz
