All Kinds

It takes all kinds to make up the world - and they are all here. - Gertrude Wilson

Quote from my Grandmother. She was a gentle person with never an unkind word, but that didn't keep her from getting a little jab in at those who she did not approve. We can all learn from her.

Birthday Thanks

Don't forget to thank your mom on your birthday. - Lyle

Spending Time

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. - Carl Sandburg

Time is a precious commodity.

Lengthy Projects

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use. - Earl Nightingale

I have found long term projects to be the most rewarding, both in the doing and the accomplishment.

Might Have Been

For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been." ~ John Greenleaf Whittier

There will always be "Might have beens" - we have only the choice to make them as few as possible.

Never Say Whoa

Never say whoa in the middle of a bog hole. – Cowboy saying

If your gitty-up is about to get stuck it's time to git-up and get going!

Multiple Paths

Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results. - George S. Patton

There is always more than one way to accomplish a task - some better than others. You might learn a better way.

The Best is Best

(Selling) average stuff for average people is no way to make a living. - Seth Godin

If you want to increase your profit margin then sell the best to the best.

The Battle for Profit

Too many people think only of their own profit. But business opportunity seldom knocks on the door of self-centered people. No customer ever goes to a store merely to please the storekeeper. - Kazuo Inamori

The desire for profit should walk hand-in-hand with the desire to do something of value, not lead the charge.

Moral Confusion

It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important. - Martin Luther King Jr.

It is true you cannot legislate morality. Law is established by people to help preserve basic human rights. The problem arises when the two are confused. Politicians make their living by creating this confusion.
