Here goes blog quote #348..."The suspense is terrible, I hope it will last."-Willy Wonka-This was Wonka's sarcastic witty comment when the little brat, Violet was turning violet. If you haven't seen Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, rent it. If you saw it umpteen years ago, re- rent it and listen to all the classic funny lines you may have missed years ago. Truly ingenious writing, in my opinion.Thats my view...what say you?
Here goes Blog Quote #347...
"True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before the world."
-La Rochefoucauld-
It's not what you do when everyone is watching that matters. It's what takes place when your conscience is the only one with a view.
That's what seperates the men from the boys. That's what differentiates the major players from the contenders.
That's my view...what say you?
Here goes Blog quote #346..."It takes two things to be a consultant- grey hair and hemorrhoids. The grey hair makes you look distinguished. The hemorrhoids make you look concerned."-MAXINE-For all you Maxine fans. Got to love her bluntness and sense of humor! Just goes to show... you never know who will be quoted at the Think Tank.You could be next!That's my view...what say you?
Here goes blog quote #345..."The biggest reward for a thing well done is to have done it."-Voltaire-Procrastination. We've all done it. We know we should avoid it. Ever since school years when we put off studying until the night before the final exam. Those projects we have 8 weeks to complete, then we stress out about them when 'suddenly' they are due next Thursday.Some of us work better under the gun. Others, well, we just put it all off until the last minute, for whatever reason.I think all humans have one thing in common. When "it" gets done, what a great feeling to have accomplished it. To check it off the list. To get it behind you. In addition, when we do a super-duper job, it feels ever more super de dupter(not a real word).That's my view...what say you?
A three bagger today. Since I am an avid reader, and I am re-reading 'The Books You Read' by Charles T Jones, thought I'd share 3 very good quotes about reading. As a further comment, this book is pretty cool... it has many famous people sharing what book they'd recommend you must read, and why.Quote #342..."A man who buys a book is not just buying a few ounces of paper, glue, and printers ink; he may be buying a whole new life."-Emerson-Many a good book has been the turning point in peoples lives.Quote #343..."There is a great deal of difference between the eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read." -G.K. Chesterton-One wants to learn, while the other may be looking to fall asleep.Quote #344..."A man's reading program should be as carefully planned as his daily diet, for that too is food, without which he cannot grow mentally."-Andrew Carnegie-We are what we eat, read, watch, listen to, and hang out with. Choose good quality reading materials. Your brain will thank you for it.That's my view...what say you?
Here goes Blog quote #341..."God gave us two ends. One to sit on and one to think with. Success depends on which one you use; heads you win, tails you lose."-Anonymous-It's Friday. I think I'll use both of my ends to sit and think about this one over the weekend.Funny how anytime someone flips a coin and asks me to call it, 90% of the time I go with 'heads.' I usually win about 50% of the time(why do I feel like I'm mimicing Andy Rooney with this comment?).Use your noggin and your tush wisely. Your success may be 'resting' on it.That's my view...what say you?
Here goes Blog quote #340..."The future depends on many things, but mostly on you."-Frank Tyger-I'm not sure who Mr Tyger is, or what he did in life(will have to google him), but I've read about a dozen of his quotes. One common theme.. I have liked them all.I think Tyger is trying to say there are tons and tons of variables in life that determine who we become where we end up, what we do, who we meet, etc etc. However thee most important variable is...US. We control much of our own outcome. We have more to say about our destiny than most or all the other variables.So, as we've said before here at the Think Tank, figure out what you want to do, and who you want to become. Then, get to it. The sand continues to fall through the hourglass of life every second!That's my view...what say you?
