Quickness versus mistakes--worth the trade off?

Blog quote #1237... 

"Delay is preferable to error." -Thomas Jefferson-

Quite a bit packed into this in 5 short words. Slow down. Take our time. Stop multitasking. Get it right the first time.

The great Coach John Wooden always used to say "Be quick but don't hurry." His message was to get your craft down so you can do it at a good pace, without rushing. You can move swiftly, while at the same time, being patient. 

In the end, error usually costs double the time or more, and quite expensive as well. Get it done right.

Would you rather have Guts or Talent?

Blog quote #1236... 

"Above everything else I've done, I've always said I've had more guts than I've got talent." -Dolly Parton, singer, songwriter, author, philanthropist, actress-

More proof that some talent is important, but it's drive, effort, guts, and a willingness to go after things, that make the biggest difference. Many have talent but it goes unused, and they get labeled 'has potential.'  

In Parton's case, she certainly has achieved a lot of great things for the world, and done them with class, kindness, and love. Kudos and appreciation to Ms. Parton for all her great deeds on this earth.

Do we want to hear it or not?

Blog quote #1235... 

"It's a rare person who wants to hear, what he doesn't want to hear." -Dick Cavett-

Let's 'hear it'- for people who want the good and the not so good news. The folks who say "Give it to me straight up and let me know where I need improvement, what I need to go to work on." 

It's a rare creature. Certainly refreshing when we find these types. Even better if we can learn from them, and become these types.

On Happiness and Misery...

Blog quote #1233... 

"I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery, depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances." -Martha Washington-

A well put statement that mimics the old saying "It's not what happens to us, but HOW we CHOOSE to react to it." In other words, everyone has plenty of good and bad happen to them, but the key is in the attitude taken toward what happens. 

So...yes we do have a decision to make, regarding a choice in that attitude. Thanks Martha!
