Follow Your Passion For A Life Filled With Meaning
"Select your work carefully and if you don't love what you're doing enough to
want to be the best at it, get out! Flee from the boring or unsatisfying job as
you would from a burning building. Working at something you don't care about
is the very best way to waste your life. Remember, this life is not a rehearsal
for something else." ~ Brian Tracy

Achieve..... Contribute..... Create
"Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create. Faith
is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has
the deep conviction that life is eternally important, and that his work, well done, is
a part of an unending plan." ~Calvin Coolidge
