4Cs

"Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four Cs. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably."
~Walt Disney

Follow your dreams

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
~Henry David Thoreau

Beauty

"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart."

~Kahlil Gibran

People

"People are like stained-glass windows.

They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,

but when the darkness sets in,

their true beauty is revealed only if there's a light from within."

~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

True friends..

"True friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget."

~Amanda Kunkle

It doesn't matter..

"It doesn’t matter how many times you fail.
It doesn’t matter how many times you almost get it right.
No one is going to know or care about your failures, and neither should you.
All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because...
All that matters in business is that you get it right once.
Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are."
~Mark Cuban

A leader

A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.
~Ralph Lauren

Life is a building

"Life is a building. It rises slowly, day by day, through the years..
Every new lesson we learn lays a block on the edifice which is rising silently within us..
Every experience, every touch of another life on ours, every influence that impresses us, every book we read, every conversation we have, every act of our commonest days adds to the invisible building."
~ J.R.Miller

Creativity and Innovation

CREATIVITY is thinking up new things.
INNOVATION is doing new things.
~Theodore Levitt

Innovation

Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs,

the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service.

It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced.

Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovation, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation.

And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation.

~Peter F.Drucker

Success

“Success means doing the best we can with what we have.
Success is the doing, not the getting;
in the trying, not the triumph.
Success is a personal standard,
reaching for the highest that is in us,
becoming all that we can be.”
~ Zig Ziglar.

Poems for dads

"Though we may not shower him with praise
Nor mention his name in song,
Though sometimes it seems that we forget
The joy he spreads as he goes along,
It doesn't mean that we don't know
The wonderful role that he has had.
And away down deep in every heart
There's a place that is just for Dad....."
~Anonymous

It is not the hours..

"It's not the hours you put in your work that count, it's the work you put in the hours.
~Sam Ewing
