“Some people expend far more energy getting out of work than they would spend doing the job well. They may think they are fooling the boss, but they are only fooling themselves. An employer may not know all the details of every job or every task an individual performs, but a good manager knows the results of effort. You can be sure that when promotions or plum assignments become available, they won’t be offered to loafers. If you do your job cheerfully and well, not only are you more likely to be recognized and rewarded, but you also learn how to do your job better. As you become more proficient, you become more valuable to your employer. You also acquire the most valuable of all assets — the confidence that comes from knowing you possess skills that will increase your value to any organization.”
— Napoleon Hill
“Teach your children that the rhythm of what they are doing can be their own rhythm when they are alone, and when they are with others, they must fit with the rhythm of the group. Then teach them harmony: not to be louder than others or off-key, how to blend with the group. Teach them to make their consciousness an addition to the group, not an irritation.”
— John-Roger
“Everyone on earth has a gift just for you.”
-– Guy Finley
“Choose in ways that support your dreams.”
— Mary Anne Radmacher
“In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt
“Sharpen your pencil as you create the story of your life. Ask today as you consider the many choices in your view – what is the highest and best use of your talents, skills and abilities? When you answer that, seize the opportunity to sharpen those qualities even more sharply by applying your focused effort.”
— Mary Anne Radmacher
“The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.”
— Joseph Campbell
