"The greatest homage we can pay to the truth... is to use it."
-Emerson-
Saw this this morning. Loved it. Not much more to add.
It kind if stops you in your tracks and say quite a heap load.
Funny how we all WANT the truth, yet a good portion of us aren't willing to use it, to share it, to give it up, to forward it on though.
Funny though isn't it? Not really.
Use the truth. I'll go first. Everyone follow in suit. Perhaps we can start a valuable trend?
That's my view...what say you?

Here goes Blog Quote #472...
"Ever notice that a cars windshield is so large and the rear view mirror is so small? That's because our past is not as important as our future. So, look ahead and move on."
-a Layman's Ten Commandments-
Sometimes a statement is so succintly put, that there isn't much more to add to it. Thus is the case here.

"Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open."
-Elmer G Leterman-
The 'other' Leterman shares this gem with us. Boy it happens every day in sales doesn't it? People will buy anything from someone once. After that-- it's all earned.
Another saying says 'people will deal with people that they like, know and trust.'
After the first sale, it is then that we find out more about the product itself, AND the person who sold it.
Is it a 'one and done' sale or is it a relationship building exercise? Did we buy from a slick oil salesman who only initially seemed all too nice and friendly, or is it from a caring person of character who truly has our best interest at heart?
It is true that a personality can open doors and relationships. But without some substance behind it, it's likely to be a short term deal.

"I have learned the hard way that every time I get angry, I am going to learn something new--usually about my limited vision."
-Adele Ryan McDowell-
Wow. This is one of those surprise endings at the completion of the quote. Wasn't expecting that. However, quite humbling, and how insightful.
Any of you relate with this discovery? I know I certainly can.
Much anger in the world, could be avoided, is senseless, and sometimes selfish. If we work towards understanding where one another is coming from, versus our own selfish and limited views and ideas--watch out. A whole new world opens up. And it's a good new world!
Hats off to Ms. Mc Dowell for that self discovery. It's a keeper!

"Sometimes the thinking about it is harder than the doing it."
-Mama Brainard-
What a great quote that a friend of mine shared, regarding some wisdom that was passed on from his mom to himself.
The more I think of this quote the better it gets. Inertia. Moving on something. Getting started. Sometimes it can be thee most difficult thing.
We over think stuff. We analyze it from twelve different angles. We ask advice from every Tom, Dick, and Harry that we can get their attention.
When whats really needed... is just a kick in the pants to get started. So all you procrastinators out there-- the next time you are stuck overthinking.. just jump in the water and get going. You'll find that its actually much easier than being stuck up top on that high diveboard...pondering.

"If you are having a challenge on a business level, do not look at how to change others, or even how to change the situation. Look at a way to change yourself."
-Lydia Danner-
Why is it that we are so good at telling others how to change. or what they need to do, to get better? Yet, it's so hard for ourselves to change anything.
There is an old saying... "If you can't change your friends, then change your friends." Sometimes that's true and needed advice. Other times, we need to stop looking around at everyone else and start the changing on our own front porch. The fact is: That's the spot where we have much more control, and significantly more impact as well.
Something to consider...
