QUOTE OF THE DAY: #2

Quote of the day:"MIND AND SPIRIT. The two poles upon which rests the firmament of our faculties: the one without the other, a happiness by half: mind is not enough, spirit is necessary. The lot of a fool, to fail in his calling, professional, commercial, political, social."

No Left Turn

Character is something you either have or are. Some people try to make something for themselves. Others try to make something for themselves. Tyron Edwards said, "Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny." The Bible asserts in Proverbs 22:1, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." Character is the real foundation of all worthwhile success. A good question to ask yourself is, "What kind of world would this be if everybody were just like me?" You are simply a book telling the world about its author. John Morely remarked, "No man can climb out beyond the limitations of his own character." Never be ashamed of doing right. Marcus Aurelius exhorted, "Never esteem as of advantage to thee that which shall make thee break thy word or lose thy self-respect." W. J. Dawson counseled, "You need not choose evil; but only ...

Limitations - How A Man Responded To His Limitations Made Him To Be Oneof the RICHEST and Most Creative Men in History!

He was rated "dull, slow, and impractical" by his teachers and was asked to leave college. Despite this negative start, he was awarded a patent for the rotary steam engine before he turned twenty.

9 TRUISMS THAT MAY NOT BE TRUE

I am sharing to you statements that may have been a quotable quote. A truism that you believed in. Hear what John L. Mason have to say about them.  The way to guarantee success is to work smarter, not harder. This is losing idea. You will find that effective leaders do both. They work smarter, and they work harder. Activity equals accomplishments. Activity is not accomplishment. Hard work is not results. We should not ask ourselves whether or not we're busy, but what we're busy about.

We should not take care; we should take control. If you don't take control of your own life, somebody else will. Don't waste (kill) time. Although this truism expresses a good thought, it is really not accurate. When you waste your time, you waste your life. If it's not broke, d...
