Here are a couple quotes I have posted at my desk:
"Argue as though you are right and Listen as though you are wrong."
Karl Weick
"It's not that some people have willpower and some don't.
It's that some people are ready to change and others are not."
James Gordon, MD
"Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort."
John Ruskin
And my favorite....
"Sister, there were people who went to sleep last night,
Poor and rich and white and black,
But they will never wake again.
And those dead folks would give anything at all for just
five minutes of this weather or ten minutes of plowing.
So you watch yourself about complaining.
What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it.
If you can't change it, change the way you think about it."
Maya Angelou (quoting her grandmother)
And another...
"What's the world's greatest lie?" the boy asked, completely surprised.
"It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie."
From The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho0 -

* Laugh when you can, apologize when you should,
and let go of what you can't change.
Kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances,
give everything and have no regrets.
Life's too short to be anything…but happy *0 -
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets
So love the people who treat you right,
forget the ones who don't,
and believe that everything
happens for a reason.
If you get a change, take it;
If it changes your life, let it,
Nobody said it would be easy,
They just said it would be worth it.0 -
