This bright new year is given me

Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.

Skillful listening is the best remedy for loneliness, loquaciousness, and laryngitis.

To the optimist, obstacles aare challenges, roadblocks are inspirations, and problems are invitations to achievement.

In life, satisfaction is experienced when activities are brought to a state of completion. Loss of energy and loss of control are functions of incompletion. The result of completing things releases one's ability to create. Prioritize any items that need to be completed, set a completion date, then do it.

Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment.
