THE QUICKEST, GREATEST TEST AND YOUR GOLD MEDAL!

“QUESTION: Do you know what the greatest test is?

ANSWER:Do you still get excited about what you do when you get up in the morning?”

-David Halberstam (1934-2007)

HOW TO MAKE A GOLD MEDAL...

“Gold medals aren't made of gold.
They're made of sweat, determination, and a
hard-to-find alloy called guts.”

Dan Gable
- Olympic Gold Medalist - Wrestling

PRIZES…FOR EVERYONE

“Most of us miss out on life's big prizes.

The Pulitzer. The Nobel. Oscars. Tonys. Emmys.
But we're all eligible for life's small pleasures.

A pat on the back.
A kiss behind the ear.
A four-pound bass.
A full moon.
An empty parking space.
A crackling fire.
A great meal.
A glorious sunset.
Hot soup.
Cold beer.

Don't fret about copping life's grand awards.
Enjoy its tiny delights. There are plenty for all of us.”

- from an advertisement for United Technologies Corporation

ONE OF OUR FAVORITE ADS OF ALL TIME . . .

I have a strange hobby. I collect ads. Not just any type – the ad has to be motivational or inspirational.

The following is from Nike . . .

Too often we are scared.
Scared of what we might not be able to do.
Scared of what people might think if we tried.

We let our fears stand in the way of our hopes.
We say “No,” when we want to say “Yes.”
We sit quietly when we want to scream.

And we shout with the others,
when we should keep our mouths shut.

Why?

After all, we do only go around once.
There's really no time to be afraid.

So stop.

Try something you've never tried. Risk it.

Enter a triathlon.
Write a letter to the editor.
Demand a raise.
Call winners at the toughest court.
Throw away your television.
Bicycle across the United States .
Try bobsledding.
Try anything.
Travel to a country where you don't speak the language.
Patent something.
Call her.

You have nothing to lose and everything everything everything to gain.

JUST DO IT.”
