Overcoming Obstacles

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people." ~ Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture More

Overcoming Barriers

Becoming Real

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." ~ Velveteen Rabbit More

Leadership

"Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy." ~ Norman Schwarzkopf More

What It Takes To Be Number 1

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all-time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." "A man who's late for meetings or for the bus won't run his pass routes right. He'll be sloppy" ~ Vince Lombardi More

Practice

"Practice isn't the thing you do when you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good." ~ Malcolm Gladwell, "Outliers-The Story of Success" More

The Right Way of Doing Things

"It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it wrong." ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow More

On Completing Tasks

"I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble." ~ Helen Keller More
