Words of Wisdom
"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse.
If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming."- Goethe, 1749-1832

Oliver Wendell Holmes -- Man's mind, stretched to a new idea, never goes back to it's original dimension.
The subconscious mind will act upon any idea, plan, or purpose which is clearly
expressed to it.
When you take the first step and move beyond hesitancy, the universe, God, and all the power available to you, will respond.
But first, you must keep an open mind and believe in miracles. Miracles show up best when they are invited. Goethe
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw
off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain
When we concern ourselves with what other people think of us, it would be helpful to know how seldom they do.
The shy man usually finds that he has been shy without cause, and that, in practice, no one takes the slightest notice of
him. Robert Lynd
We are all creations of God, all of our thoughts are Gods, if God did not want man to create, God would not have given us
the ability or desire to create.
We all have heard or said God works in mysterious ways, then why not investigate those mysterious ways. When we fear the unknown and do not move forward we are not following God's greatest gift to man, to create. Look all around and you will see what God has created through man.
I have learned through bitter experience the one supreme lesson: to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmitted

successful, you will need a great deal of self-discipline not to lose your sense of balance, humility, and commitment. – H. Ross Perot
Here is the prime condition of success: Concentrate your energy, thought and capital exclusively upon the
business in which you are engaged. Having begun on one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about. Andrew Carnegie
If we do everything that we are capable of we would truly astound ourselves. -
Thomas Jefferson
Finish
each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be
encumbered with your old nonsense.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Change is the law of life. And those who look

Education is the only commodity where the customer tries to get as little as he can for his money.
"The one resolution, which was in my mind long before it took the form of a resolution, is the key-note of my life. It
is this, always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life almost at the beginning. I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to blossom, like Aaron's rod,
with flowers."
Helen Keller
"Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not
only test the fibre of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before." --
James Buckham
"A belief is
assuming something to be true, to be a fact. A belief is not caused, it is created by choice. A belief about a thing's existence is not the same as its existence."
Bruce Di Marsico
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places
Ernest Hemingway
