The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.

Looking for the competitive edge? Work harder than the next guy. CBS correspondent Byron Pitts learned you can’t always outsmart someone, but you can always outwork them. Working his way from a North Carolina cub reporter to a coveted spot as 60 Minutes correspondent, Pitts discovered hard work was the way to separate himself from his competitors. He likens his work ethic to belonging to an elite club. “It’s a small fraternity, people who are hard workers.” And his success? “Success is just your work made public,” Pitts says. “Hard work never lies. When you’ve worked hard, you know where you stand." Rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world. - Noah Porter Change means that what was before wasn't perfect. People want things to be better. - Esther Dyson You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessings. - Andrew Jackson If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. - Peace Pilgrim To reach a port, we must sail - Sail, not tie at anchor - Sail, not drift. - Franklin Roosevelt Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go--no one else. - Les Brown Long term success is built on credibility and on establishing enduring loving relationships with quality people based on mutually earned trust. Cut all ties with dishonest, negative or lazy people, and associate with people who share your values. You become who you associate with. - Dave Kekich Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds. - Gordon B. Hinckley | ArchivesMay 2012 Categories |
