The secret of getting things done is: DO IT NOW! , By Success Unlimited

As long as you live, never say to yourself “DO IT NOW!” unless you immediately follow through with desirable action.

Now is the time to act.

Now is the time to be happy.

Thoughts to Ponder, by E.T. Gurney

People are unreasonable, illogical, self-centered.

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish motives.

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and real enemies.

Try to be successful anyway.

The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway.

People favor the underdog, but they chum up to the top dog.

Fight for the underdog anyway.

What you spend years building can be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.

Give the world the best you have and chances are you will get kicked in the teeth.

Give it anyway.

Something to keep you going

Wealth is the offspring of wisdom.

Creative work guarantees productivity and productivity guarantees wealth.

A marketer is only as good as the product that he or she is selling.

The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.

Book Learning

“It is books that are the key to the wide world; if you can’t do anything else, read all that you can.”

“It’s the start that stops most people.”

When I got cut from the varsity team as a sophomore in high school, I learned something.  I knew I never wanted to feel that bad again.  I never wanted to have that taste in my mouth, that hole in my stomach, so I set a goal of becoming a starter on the varsity.

10 STEPS TOWARD A WONDERFUL LIFE

1.    WAKE UP EARLY……Starting your day early will eliminate the stress caused by
                                                rushing.

2.     ARRIVE EARLY……...Regardless if you have an appointment, meeting or a job to
                                                go to, arriving early will allow you time to prepare yourself    
                                                for the business at hand.

3.    EXERCISE DAILY……It is no secret, “exercising is not only good for you
                                                physically, but mentally too.”

4.    SCHEDULE YOUR DAY….This will allow you to manage your time, which equals
                                                  your life.  Include in it time to relax and engulf yourself
                                                  with pleasant thoughts and positive thinking.

5,    BE CORDIAL…………..Be friendly and be the first to say hello.  It could be that
                                                 very person who remembered your smile and kindness
                                                 and will help you  in your time of need.

6.    FORGIVE……………….There is no greater burden than that of, “hate and
                                                 unforgiveness.”  Sometimes there is no excuse, but there is
                                                 always a reason why people are the way they are.  Get to
                                                 know those reasons and you will find it easier to forgive.

7.    HONESTY…………….. Be honest with yourself and others.  A lie requires a lie to
                                                survive.  I have never heard nor seen a lie leave home and
                                                not return.  The truth will go forward forever.

8.    BUILD CONFIDENCE..Start out with small achievable goals and build from there.
                                                replace I can’t with I can.  If you tell yourself, “I am going
                                                to have a bad day”, chances are, you probably will.

9.    PROBLEM SOLVE……Every problem is born, thus rendering a solution.  I like to
                                                call a problem, “an obstacle”.  We all have them (some
                                                more than others).  Go back to the embryonic stage of the
                                                obstacle.  Not only will you find out how to prevent them,
                                                but, “VIOLA”, there’s the solution.

10.  SO SOMETHING THAT WILL ENHANCE YOUR LIFE EMOTIONALLY,
       SPIRITUALLY, AND FINANCIALLY.  THEN, PASS YOUR BLESSINGS ONTO
       OTHERS.
