He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands, his head and his heart is an artist. He who works with his hands, his head, his heart and his feet is a salesman.

When The Pressure's On

How do you act when the pressure's on, when the chance for victory's almost gone, when Fortune's star has refused to shine, when the ball is on your five-yard line?
How do you act when the going's rough? Does your spirit lag when breaks are tough? Or is there a flame that glows brighter as fiercer the battle grow?
How hard, how long will you fight the foe? That's what the world would like to know! Cowards can fight when they're ahead! The up hill grind shows a thrououghbred!
You wish for success? Then tell me, sir, how do you act when the pressure's on?

There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist!
Mark Twain

The surest way NOT to fail, is to be determined to succeed.

Setbacks never whip a fighter

Is it not he that enters upon any career, or starts in any race, but he that runs well and perserveringly that gains the plaudits of others or the approval of his own conscience.

Alexander Campbell

What Today Will Bring

This is the beginnng of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will, I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is important, because I'm exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, leaving in it's place something I have traded for it. I want it to be gain not loss; good not evil; sucess not failure, in order that I shall not regret the price I paid for it because the future is just a whole string of nows.

Pay no attention to what the critics say,
a statue has never been errected in honor of a critic!
Jean Sibelius
