Words of Wisdom

I'm taking some time off, so there will be no SYSK posts until Jan 2nd. I want to wish all readers of this blog "Happy Holidays!", and I'd like share with you some of the "words of wisdom" I have posted on my desk:

"People of character do the right thing even if no one else does -- not because they think it will change the world,

but because they refuse to be changed by the world" -- Michael Josephson

"Don't be content with being average -- average is as close to the bottom as it is to the top."

     "If you shoot for the stars, you’ll at least hit the moon."

     "Don't leave till tomorrow what you can do today."

     "Necessity isn't a fact, it's an interpretation."

"Thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, actions lead to results."

     "If you're coasting, you're going down."

     "You're either green and growing, or ripe and rotting."

     "Prevention is better than cure" - Erasmus

     "A wish is a desire without any attempt to attain its end."

     "Habit is like a soft bed, easy to get into but hard to get out of."
