The most splendid achievement of
All is the constant striving to
Surpass yourself and to be worthy
Of your own approval.
- Denis Waitley

Take time to live,
It is the secret of success.
Take time to think,
It is the source of power.
Take time to play,
It is the secret of youth.
Take time to read,
It is the foundation of knowledge.
Take time for friendship,
It is the source of happiness.
Take time to laugh,
It helps lift life’s load.
Take time to dream,
It hitches the soul to the stars.
Take time for God,
It is life’s only lasting investment.  
- Joshua Wooden

(Note: Joshua was the father
Of famed U.C.L.A. Basketball coach
John Wooden)

The Extra Mile Formula
Q1 + Q2 + MA = C
Q1 = quality of service;
Q2 = quantity of service;
MA = mental attitude;
C = compensation
- Napoleon Hill

Research has shown that
The best way to be happy
Is to make each day happy.
- Deepak Chopra

To experience peace does not mean
That your life is always blissful.
It means that you are capable of
Tapping into a blissful state of
Mind amidst the normal chaos of
A hectic life.
- Jill Bolte Taylor

We herd sheep.
We drive cattle;
We lead men.

A leader has two important
Characteristics…
First, he knows where he is going.
Second, he can persuade
Other people go with him.

A Friend is one who believes
In you when you have ceased
To believe in yourself.

Goals…
Write them down;
Hang them up;
And with God’s help,
Watch them happen!

God’s way isn’t always popular,
But it is always best.
- Michael Lukaszewski

I hope you do great things that matter.
But even if people forget your
Accomplishments,
They won’t forget you took the time to
be a friend when it matters most.
- Michael Lukaszewski

I’d rather you spend your time and energy
Trying to be like the real heroes all
Around us.
Hollywood doesn’t tell their stories in
Blockbuster movies and the news don’t
Report on their actions.
But every day Civil Servants, Doctors,
Nurses, Teachers, Preachers and people
From all walks of life perform unreported
Heroic acts.
- Michael Lukaszewski

020825 From The Banks of Burcham Creek...

 From the banks of Burcham Creek…
Superbowl LIX Edition
Eagles’ vs Chiefs

I am pulling for Jalen Hurts and
The Philadelphia Eagles…

Jalen played for The University of
Alabama for Coach Saban.

Many doubted if he could make it in
The NFL and now he is playing in his
2nd Super Bowl!

Go Eagles!

If you’re not in the parade,
you watch the parade.
That’s life.
- Coach Mike Ditka


The ones who want to achieve
and win championships motivate
themselves.
- Coach Mike Ditka

Losers quit when they’re tired.
Winners quit when they’ve won.
- Coach Mike Ditka

Here’s what I tell anybody and
this is what I believe.
The greatest gift we have is the
gift of life. We understand that.
That comes from our Creator.
We’re given a body.
Now you may not like it,
but you can maximize that body
the best it can be maximized.
- Coach Mike Ditka


What you feel spiritually.
I think a lot of that has to do
with it.
If you have no spiritual life,
chances are everything is going
to aggravate you,
you’re going to fly off the handle
at everything and that’s what
I did in the past.
I’ve kind of got that under
control now.
- Coach Mike Ditka
