 Happy Saturday to all!

For those who follow my Weekly Words of Wisdom every Friday, I am sorry that I am a day late this week.  My husband's father passed away a few days ago and we have had to make a trip back east.  Needless to say, things are a bit off kilter in my world.

I hope you enjoy the quotes, and I will see ya next Friday.

There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit.   -Anonymous    

It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.  -Roger Babson    

Ideas are a dime a dozen.  People who implement them are priceless.  -Mary Kay Ash    

The only thing even in this world are the number of hours in a day.  The difference in winning or losing is what you do with those hours.  -Woody Hayes

I just read this on a friend of mines blog...  Michelle's Mortgage Musings, and I wanted to share.

Who am I?

I am your constant companion.

I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.

I am completely at your command.

Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me, and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.

Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.

 
I am the servant of all great men. And, alas, of all failures as well.

Those who are great, I have made great.

I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine. Plus, the intelligence of man.

You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet.
Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.

Who am I?　

           I am HABIT

Happy Friday to all!

I hope your week is going well.  Things in my corner of the world are "wet".  And not the white wet kind (like my picture), just the rainy, standing water everywhere, gloomy kind.  We are very mild though, we might be getting lots of rain but we have been in the low 50's every day for quite some time. Very un-January like.

Have a great day, enjoy the quotes and I will see you next Friday!

Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.  -F. Scott Fitzgerald    

I remind myself every morning:  Nothing I say this day will teach me anything.  So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening.   -Larry King        

What great things would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?  -Robert Schuller      

 No more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty.  -Napoleon Hill               

Jim Rohn

For many of you who follow my blog, you know that I love quotes - I share them every Friday.  And one person who I share quite regularly is Jim Rohn. 

Jim spent over 40 years presenting seminars and sharing his motivational storires.  In 1985 he won the National Speakers Association CPAE Award.  He is the author of 17 different books, audio and video programs. 

I am a little late, but I am very saddened to have just read that Jim passed away on December 5, 2009 in West Hills California. 

Jim was considered a "Business Philosopher".  He taught fundamentals and I so loved reading his quotes. 

Here is a quick video that I found on YouTube - an excerpt from one of Jim's DVD's...

"I wish for you a life of health, wealth and happiness; a life in which you give yourself the gift of patience, the virtue of reason, the value of knowledge, and the influence of faith in your own ability to dream about and achieve worthy rewards."   -Jim Rohn 

For more information or to purchase any of his books go to Jim Rohn's website.

              Happy Friday to all!

I hope this finds you having a nice Friday.  Things in my corner of the world are wonderful.

This picture was from last winter at my house.  So far this year we've only had rain, and rain and more rain.  No white stuff yet for us :(      Seems like the whole rest of the country is getting it all. 

Enjoy the quotes and I will see ya next Friday!

It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up.   -Vince Lombardi

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.  I don't believe in circumstances.  The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them them, they make them.   -George Bernard Shaw

Why can't life's problems hit us when we are seventeen and know everything?    -A.C. Jolly

If you are doing your best, you will not have time to worry about failure.    -Robert Hillyer

Happy New Year!

Wow, can you believe it is 2010 already.  Doesn't it seem like just yesterday that we were all worried about Y2K????  Where did those years go?  OK - I am feeling old :) :) :)

I hope you have a wonderful New Year's Day and a fantastic 2010.  Enjoy this weeks selection of quotes and I will see y'all next Friday.

If you wouldn't write it and sign it, don't say it.    -Earl Wilson

Enthusiasm is everything.  It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.  -Pele  

Fear does not have any special power unless you empower it by submitting to it.  -Les Brown

Growth is not steady, forward, upward progression.  It  is instead a switchback trail; three steps forward, two back, one around the bushes, and a few simply standing, before another leap forward.                               -Dorothy Corkville Brigs
