It's TIME. Do it, now!

Blog quote #754..

"The best time to do something important, is right now." -Patrick O'Toole- 
This quote was used  from an intelligent businessman/father, who installed this timeless piece of information, into his daughters.
Perhaps one of the greatest examples of "Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today," with a twist angled  toward the important.
As we all know, life moves as a brisk pace. Sand particles continue to slide through those hourglasses. Mr O'Toole is suggesting to get to what you think you need to get to. Especially the very important stuff. Like today. Perhaps even now!
Excellent piece of parenting here.

That's my view...what say you?

This way-- to SUCCESS...

Blog quote #753..

"The way to succeed is to double your failure rate." -Thomas Watson- 
At first blush, this quote seems paradoxical. On the surface it seems to directly contradict itself, yet its actually true. Quite a cool statement.
In life, we need to go through lots of hardships,challenges and 'no's,' to get to the good stuff,  the cherry on top cake,  the 'yes's.'
We've all heard  the cliches. Practice makes perfect. Keep working, keep trying. Don't give up...never, ever, ever, ever, give up. 
Likely, the most famous "failure to success" was the great Albert Einstein who, on his path to inventing the lightbulb, shared that... he never failed at inventing the lightbulb, he just found over 1000 ways that didn't work.  
It appears that Watson's statement above, as opposite to itself that it sounds...completely hits dead smack in the middle of the bullseye.

Powerful statement, on never LOSING...

Blog quote #752...

"Trust me, I never lose. Either I win, or, I learn from it."  -Unknown- 
Sad that such a powerful statement has no name attributed to it.  
This one took us by surprise. when reading the first sentence, we  thought it was a big power ego statement. Then  WOW--it turned into an enlightening  quote. Very valid comment.

Test: Are you LIVING life?

Blog quote #751...

"I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it  as well."  -Diane Ackerman- 
Good thoughts here. Leads to a great question...Are there just years in your life, OR, do you have LIFE in your years?
How WIDE are you living? Hmm...

"Maybe I'm wrong, but..."

Blog quote #750...

"You can be pretty sure that the person who starts by saying 'Maybe I'm wrong...' is sure that he's right."  -Earl Wilson- 
Hmm. Will have to pay more attention  to that in future conversations.
Anyone agree?

Keep going, don't stop now....

Blog quote #749...

"After a bad harvest, sow again."  -Seneca- 
Wisdom from thousands of years ago. We believe what Seneca was eluding to is the following:
Keep going. Don't let a one time thing stop you. Practice persistence, and perseverance. 
Life is not always positive and fruitful, but over time the squeaky wheel gets the grease. And the ones who stay at it have the best chance for success and goodness.

On choosing your battles...

Blog quote #748...

"Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win." -Jonathan Kozol- 
I believe this is otherwise called 'getting smarter as you live longer.' 
The wisdom of choice. Ahhhhh.....
