Bob, my friend! :) I've been wondering how you and your granddaughter have been getting along. Sorry to hear about your aunt. That's tough news. But I'm really glad to see you're still hanging in there. 8 months on Wednesday. PARTY!!!!! :) Good to hear from you. Don't be such a stranger.

Dale Carnegie: Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. Frank Lloyd Wright: I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen. John Quincy Adams: Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. Marian Wright Edelman: You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day. Marian Wright Edelman: Whoever said anybody has a right to give up? Robert Frost: The best way out is always through. Thomas Alva Edison: Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Thomas Alva Edison: Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing. Victor Frankl: What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him. Winston Churchill: If you're going through hell, keep going. Marian Wright Edelman: You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day. Rollo May: The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it is not without doubt but in spite of doubt. Corita Kent: Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed. Elaine Maxwell: My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny. Elbert Hubbard: A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of cashing in on the experience.

Zig Zigler: People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily. You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.
