Failures don’t like to do.

And a friend in disguise.

The urgency required to discover
What really
matters.

To do less.

Never allow anyone to rain
On your parade and thus cast
A pall of gloom and defeat on
The entire day.
Remember that no talent,
No self-denial, no brains,
No character, are required to
Set up in the fault-finding business.
Nothing external can have any
Power over you unless you permit it.
Your time is too precious to be
Sacrificed in wasted days combating
The menial forces of hate, jealously,
And envy.
Guard your fragile life carefully.
Only God can shape a flower,
But any foolish child can pull it to
Pieces.

Every man dies.

And you have to decide what kind
Of difference you want to make

Life is too short to waste.
Dreams are fulfilled only
Through action,
Not through endless
Planning to take action.

Losers quit when they fail.
Winners fail until they succeed.
- Robert Kiyosaki
If I had stood at the free-throw line
And thought about 10 million people
Watching me on the other side of the
Camera lens,
I couldn't have made anything.
So I mentally tried to put myself in a
Familiar place.
I thought about all those times I shot
Free throws in practice and went
Through the same motion,
The same technique that I had used
Thousands of times.
You forget about the outcome.
You know you are doing the right things.
So you relax and perform.
- Michael Jordan
When you win,
Say nothing.
When you lose,
Say less.

The absence of problems,
But the ability to deal with them.

Between good planning and
Good results

Patriotism consists not in waving the flag,
but in striving that our country shall be
Righteous
as well as strong.
- James Bryce
We establish no religion in this country,
Nor will we ever. We command no worship.
We mandate no belief.
But we poison our society when we remove
Its theological underpinnings. . . .
Without God, there is no virtue, because there's
No prompting of the conscience.
Without God, we're mired in the material,
That flat world that tells us only what the
Senses perceive.
Without God, there is a coarsening of the society.
And without God, democracy will not and cannot
Long endure.
If we ever forget that we're one nation under God,
Then we will be a nation gone under.
- Ronald Wilson Reagan

At the end of the day it’s NOT
About what you have or even
What you’ve accomplished …
It’s about who you’ve lifted up,
Who you’ve made better.
It’s about what you’ve given back.
- Denzel Washington
Try to make at least one person
Happy every day. If you cannot
Do a kind deed, speak a kind word.
If you cannot speak a kind word,
Think a kind thought. Count up,
If you can, the treasure of happiness
That you would dispense in a week,
In a year, in a lifetime.
- Lawrence G. Lovaski
Learn from the past,
Set vivid …
Detailed goals for the future,
And live in the only moment
Of time of which you have
Any control … now.

And have a much better quality

Transform you in a moment,
And offer you more joy than
Any material possession could.

Huntin, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day
If I could make a living walking in the woods
You could bet I'd be sitting pretty good
High on a hill looking at a field downwind
If I could make a nickel off a turning 'em bass
Never worry about the price of gas
I'd be wheeling and dealing and sitting
there reeling 'em in
A huntin', fishin', and lovin' every day
That's the prayer that a country boy prays
Thank God He made me this way
Huntin' and fishin' and lovin' every day
Early in the morning and late in the evening
I'm getting red dirt rich and Flint River pay
Huntin' and fishin' and lovin' every day
Well I'd get a little farm pond buzz
Sound of gravel when I back it up
And pulling the string on a nine
point nine two stroke Murphy
I love it when my baby wants to roll with me
Throws her boots on, climbs in a tree
Tuking her hair in my hat and she's ready to go
And we'd get to huntin', fishin' and lovin' every day
That's the prayer that a country boy prays
Thank God He made me this way
Huntin', fishin' and lovin' every day
Early in the morning and late in the evening
I'm getting red dirt rich, Flint River pay
Huntin' and fishin' and lovin' every day
Well huntin' and fishin' and lovin' every day
So while yall are up there.
Breathing in that dirty air.
I'll be down here knee deep in the Muckalee.
Huntin', Fishin', Lovin' everyday
I wanna see them tall pines sway
Y'all close them eyes
And lets go there in our minds
Huntin', fishin', and lovin' every day
That's the prayer this country boy prays
Thank God He made me this way
Huntin', fishin' and lovin' every day
Black coffee in the morning and Sprite
... in the evening
I get red dirt rich and Flint River pay
Huntin', fishin' and lovin' every day
Won't you come along with me
Won't you come along with me
I know you'll wanna see
Huntin' and fishin' and lovin' every day
Yeah

If you want to live a happy life,
Tie it to a goal, not to people or
Things.
- Albert Einstein
Where justice is denied,
Where poverty is enforced,
Where ignorance prevails,
And where any one class
Is made to feel that society
Is in an organized conspiracy
To oppress, rob, and degrade them,
Neither persons nor property will
Be safe.
- Frederick Douglass,
I never doubted not only that
I would get out, but also that
I would prevail in the end and
Turn the experience into the
Defining event of my life,
Which, in retrospect,
I would not trade…
- James Stockdale
Commenting on his 8 years
As a prisoner of war in Vietnam,
During which he was tortured
Over 20 times.
