*** Positive Sayings for this Positive Image *** ------------------------------------------------------------ WHEN WALT DISNEY AND JIM ROHN COLLIDE “WE DON'T MAKE THESE PICTURES TO MAKE MONEY. - Walt Disney (1901-1966) ------------------- “DISCIPLINE IS THE BRIDGE BETWEEN GOALS - Jim Rohn ******************** THE REAL TEST “During my second year of nursing school, our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. “Absolutely,” the professor said. “In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello.” I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. -- Joann C. Jones ******************** Athletes have the Super Bowl, the World Series and the Final Four. Students have final exams. Athletes have coaches who give them pep talks before big games. If you're not psyched up for the next big challenge in your life, here's your own personal pep talk... THREE THOUGHTS THAT WILL HELP YOU #1. IT'S THE START THAT STOPS MOST PEOPLE. The hardest part is getting started. The ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tsu said, “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” Are you procrastinating? Procrastination is getting ready to get ready. What are you waiting for? Don't get ready to start studying. START DOING IT RIGHT NOW!!! Don't let the start stop you. #2. ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP WHAT YOU WANT NOW FOR WHAT YOU WANT MOST? I once saw this quote on a T-shirt: “You can always retake the course, but you'll never be able to make up the party.” Funny quote, but dangerous advice! For your big challenge, the important thing is to make the important thing the important thing. Fight through those feelings that you just have to go and do something else. Fight through those feelings that you just have to sleep more. Fight through those feelings of “But I have to do this or that instead.” Delay gratification — TRACKLE THAT BIG CHALLENGE! Don't sacrifice the MOST for the NOW. #3. ARE YOU GOING TO SAY, “I'M GLAD I DID” OR “I WISH I HAD”? Why should you get started now? Why should you delay gratification???? Don't let “obstacles” get in your way, you'll happily be able to say, “I'm glad I did.” But, if you do delay, and let the obstacles interfere, you'll regretfully say, “I wish I had.” REMEMBER: “THE PAIN IS TEMPORARY; THE PRIDE IS FOREVER.” Make sure you'll be able to say, “I'm glad I did.” |
