Big jobs

Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

-- Denis Waitley

Your Action Defines You

Notes:

If you are planning to incorporate writing a book into your business and are thinking of finding an agent or a publisher, please be wary when looking.

There are many unscrupulous people looking to make a fast buck from authors (and speakers who write).

Anyone thinking of writing a book would benefit by studying the “Writer Beware” page at www.sfwa.org/beware before you begin looking for writers’ services, representation, or publishers.

You Become What And Who You Choose

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

-- Charles M. Schwab (1862-1939)

looking too far ahead?

It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time.

-- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
