You can’t control the wind so learn to control your sails.

When a thing is new people say, “It is not true.” When a thing seems to be true people say, “It is not new.” William James

I’ve done things on Monday and Tuesday, made progress on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I have completed tasks on Saturday and Sunday, but I’ve never accomplished anything on “someday.” See Goal Setting on this blog.

Failure lies not in needing help but in failing to accept help when needed. Tony Mayo

I have been posting fewer and fewer tweets because they have been producing fewer and fewer responses. Has Twitter jumped the shark?

Press On

Calvin CoolidgeNothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent.

The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

–Calvin Coolidge
President of the USA
1923-1929

Havel on Hope

Vaclev Havel


Hope is not a prognostication.


It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons.

Martin Luther King – Nobel Lecture

Martin Luther King…something basic is missing. There is a sort of poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.
