    “Emotions are far more contagious than any disease. A smile or a panic will spread through a group of people far faster than any virus ever could.  When you walk into the office or a negotiation, then, wash your bad mood away before you see us. Don’t cough on us, don’t sneeze on us, sure, but don’t bring your grouchiness, your skepticism or your fear in here either. It might spread.”

    Seth Godin

      “Good teachers are to education what education is to all other professions—the indispensable element, the sunlight and oxygen, the foundation on which everything else is built.” ~ Lowell Milken

        “Most people don’t lead their own lives – they accept their lives.” ~ John Kotter, Leading Change

          “You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.” ~ John C. Maxwell, Today Matters

            “The people who are good in the long run fail a lot, especially at the beginning. So, when you fail early, it might be worth realizing that this is part of the deal, the price you pay for being good in the long run.  Every rejection is a gift. A chance to learn and to do it better next time. An opportunity to figure out how to bounce, not break. Don’t waste them.”

            The Lifebuilder’s Creed

              By Dale Witherington

              Today is the most important day of my life.
              Yesterday with its successes and victories, struggles and failures is gone forever.
              The past is past.
              Done.
              Finished.
              I cannot relive it. I cannot go back and change it.
              But I will learn from it and improve my TODAY.

              TODAY. This moment. NOW.
              It is God’s gift to me and it is all that I have.

              Tomorrow with all its joys and sorrows, triumphs and
              troubles isn’t here yet.
              Indeed, tomorrow may never come.
              Therefore, I will not worry about tomorrow.

              Today is what God has entrusted to me.
              It is all that I have. I will do my best in it.
              I will demonstrate the best of me in it —
              my character, giftedness, and abilities —
              to my family and friends, clients and associates.
              I will identify those things that are most important to do TODAY,
              and those things I will do until they are done.
              And when this day is done
              I will look back with satisfaction at that
              which I have accomplished.
              Then, and only then, will I plan my tomorrow,
              Looking to improve upon Today, with God’s help.

              Then I shall go to sleep in peace … content.
