Lessons Learned
“The great little thing a little lamp can do which the big
sun cannot do is give light at night. It shows no one is superior by size but by
purpose. If we cannot do great things, we can do
small things in a great way. Little things make a BIG
difference to God.”http://www.flickr.com/photos/jealouskids/2376102166/
“Pretend that every single person you
meet has a sign around his or her neck
that says, ‘Make me feel important.’ Not
only will you succeed in sales, you will also
succeed in life.” –Mary Kay Ash

“Only passion will get you through the
tough times… It’s the romance, not the
finance that makes business worth
pursuing.” – Randy Komisar
“There is a difference between interest and commitment. When
you are interested in doing something, you do it only when it is
convenient. When you are committed to something, you
accept no excuses, only results.” –Kenneth Blanchard
“Life is like a football game. We
are the football. Never mind the
kicks of some people because
without those kicks, we may not reach
the goal.”http://www.sports-online.biz/
“Two fishermen got trapped in a storm in the middle of the lake. One turned to
the other and asked:
‘Should we pray or should we row?’
“His wise companion replied: Let’s do both!”
May we always equip our work with prayers and our prayers with work…
The next time you admire all the wonderful things God made.
Remember that YOU are one of them!
A candle doesn’t lose anything by
lighting another candle.
“Make your influence POSITIVE.”
