Lessons Learned

“The great little thing a little lamp can do which the big

sun cannot do is give light at night. It shows no one is superior by size but by

purpose. If we cannot do great things, we can do

small things in a great way. Little things make a BIG

difference to God.”http://www.flickr.com/photos/jealouskids/2376102166/

“Pretend that every single person you

meet has a sign around his or her neck

that says, ‘Make me feel important.’ Not

only will you succeed in sales, you will also

succeed in life.” –Mary Kay Ash

“Only passion will get you through the

tough times… It’s the romance, not the

finance that makes business worth

pursuing.” – Randy Komisar

“There is a difference between interest and commitment. When

you are interested in doing something, you do it only when it is

convenient. When you are committed to something, you

accept no excuses, only results.” –Kenneth Blanchard

“Life is like a football game. We

are the football. Never mind the

kicks of some people because

without those kicks, we may not reach

the goal.”http://www.sports-online.biz/

“Two fishermen got trapped in a storm in the middle of the lake. One turned to

the other and asked:

‘Should we pray or should we row?’

“His wise companion replied: Let’s do both!”

May we always equip our work with prayers and our prayers with work…

The next time you admire all the wonderful things God made.

Remember that YOU are one of them!

A candle doesn’t lose anything by

lighting another candle.

“Make your influence POSITIVE.”
