It is easy to get to the top after you get through the crowd at the bottom.

What you get by reaching your destination is not nearly as important as what you will become by reaching your destination.

If we don't start, it's certain we can't arrive.

We all need a daily check up from the neck up to avoid stinkin' thinkin' which ultimately leads to hardening of the attitudes.

It's not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you.

Of all the "attitudes" we can acquire, surely the attitude of gratitude is the most important and by far the most life changing.

Obstacles are the things we see when we take our eyes off our goals.

You don't drown by falling in water; you only drown if you stay there.

Most of us would be upset if we were accused of being "silly."
But the word "silly" comes from the old English word "selig," and its literal definition is "to be blessed, happy, healthy and prosperous."

Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give him yours.

If people like you they'll listen to you, but if they trust you they'll do business with you.

When we do more than we are paid to do, eventually we will be paid more for what we do.

What comes out of your mouth is determined by what goes into your mind.

Don't be distracted by criticism. Remember - the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.

Too many people spend more time planning how to get the job than on how to become productive and successful in that job.

Success is one thing you can't pay for. You buy it on the installment plan and make payments every day.

    That is one of my favourites as well, Dennis. It's one I have always tried to live up to in life too. It takes the focus off "I" and puts it on "YOU," something more people should consider.

    Glowworm,

    1. You're far from right.
    2. I wouldn't waste my time "knocking" or "retaliating" as you obviously have a chip on your shoulder the size of Uluru.

    3. I don't post to impress or depress...I post to share!

    "What you get by reaching your destination is not nearly as important as what you will become by reaching your destination."

    This one means a lot to me. It wows me when I see people cheating the system to get there quicker. Great, you're there. But you're no better for it and I doubt you'll be there long.
