READERS...be sure to Read This

Blog quote #765...

"What is reading  but silent conversation." -Walter Savage Landor-

As a voracious reader, this caught our attention. There certainly is a ton going on when reading a good book. 

Lots of thinking and talking to self, questions,  what if's, do I agree, idea stimulation, etc etc. Heck... as we type, we think this list could reach 30 or 50 activities that occur while reading. WOW!

This quote, while brief, seems to be spot on..

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

It's all about RESULTS...isn't it?

Blog quote #764...

"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant." -Robert Louis Stevenson-

What a crazy thought in this 'results driven world' we live in, huh?

We respect RLS's suggestion to focus on  planting, ie doing good deeds. The wisest know that  eventually good planting  and tilling will always produce proper results, somewhere down the line. 

And even if you don't see 'results' immediately, there is some comfort in knowing that you are helping others, and doing the right thing.

Carry on...

On Second Guessing...

Blog quote #763...

"In the business world as well as in life, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield." -Warren Buffett-

Who would know more about Monday morning armchair quarterbacking or second guessing, than one of the greatest money investors of all time?

If we had access to tomorrows paper, everybody would be a genius. Unfortunately, we don't.

Good comments by Mr. Buffett.

Two types of Pain...

Blog quote #762...

"There are two types of pain in this world, the short term pain of discipline and the long term pain of regret. One weighs ounces and the other weighs tons. Choose your pain." -Jim Rohn-

Some quotes are so complete, there isn't a heck of a lot that can be added to their statements. The masterful Jim Rohn nailed it here.

Reminds us of the old Fram oil filter commercial from the1970's and 80's "You can pay me now or pay me later." We'll let you figure out which one of Rohn's suggestions is the wiser of the two.

When to call it quits...

Blog quote #761...

"Luck is always against the person who depends on it." -Unknown-

If you could 'depend on it,' it wouldn't be called 'luck,' right?

Ever notice when people hit a cold streak or bad stretch. They are going in the wrong direction and stubbornly try to buck the trend, whether it's business, sport, gambling , or whatever

We are all for persistence, resilience, perseverance, and no quit attitudes. However, sometimes it's just smart to stop, call it a day and try again tomorrow.

Hmm...

About Living in the Present- NOW!

Blog quote #760...

"The past and the future are great places to visit, but you don't want to live there." -Tom Payne-

What a great statement. Know anyone stuck in the past? Wallowing in stuff that is in the books and is never going to change. How about people that constantly talk about tonight, next Monday, or the coming winter?

The past is great for many things- including memories, and statistics, and trends. The future holds many dreams, hopes, desires, visions and projections. With that stated, it is wise to live for today. Be part of the moment. Now. This second. 

You can bet your bottom dollar that today, and the here and now-- come with plenty of action and require your full attention. We'd be wise to  heed to the old line that the present is a gift and we need to be in it, and live it it.

On DECIDING...

Blog quote #759...

"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." -Ralph Waldo Emerson-

We can go many ways with this statement. Part of us says making a decision on whatever, is three quarters of the battle to getting something done. The mind is a highly underestimated, powerful mechanism. 

On the universe joining in...perhaps it all seems to 'fall into place' once that decision  has been made. Others could make the argument that when you want something very badly, the powers that be go against you, and make things extremely difficult  to accomplish.

How about you...what do you think on this topic by Mr. Emerson?
