food for thought

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends, Spirit - & you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - Family, Health, Friends, Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life." - Brian G. Dyson, Coca-Cola, CEO

"Sometimes we are asked how we rank our priorities in life and we answer: God first, Family second, then Work. But tell me. How would you rank the time you spent for each?" - anonymous

"Life is meaningless until you find something worth living, or dying for." - anonymous

1. "Be confident, because you know where you're going" - S.M.

I think the number one cause of anxiety in people right now is uncertainty. Having a goal and a clear direction plus the right "vehicle" to get there should do the work.

2. "If I tell you to jump, jump. Don't ask me how, I'll tell you how high." - D.O.

So many questions to ask. But in a business w/ a perfect system, all you have to do is follow.

3. "Successful people will do what unsuccessful people will not do. That's why successful people get what unsuccessful people can never have."

No explanation needed.

4. "Fake it til you make it"

Everything starts in the mind. What the mind can conceive, the body can achieve.

5. "Leaders are always the highest paid"

Unless you're a leader, you are a mediocre.

6. "The best commitment in life is the commitment to overcome all challenges"

There is no victory without a battle.

7. "Embrace objections. It's just like eating a banana." - Daniel Poon

Peeling off people's smokescreens until you see the real them, and they see the real you.

8. "Growth is uncomfortable"

No pain, no gain.

9. "If I don't try, I'll never know"

Sometimes it's good to be skeptic. But do not become close-minded. You will become POOR (Passing over opportunities repeatedly)

10. "The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement"

That's why life, when lived right, is never boring

someone can hurt you physically and u'll probably just settle the score after that. but when hurtful words are spoken, it cuts through the core of your soul even causing physical pain. that's why we should be careful what we say to people.
