Today's quote was submitted by Emily

Jane Austen, from "Emma" said "There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart." I love that. When you think of charm, is there anyone particular that comes to mind? I'd say that being CHARMING is the trait of many politicians. I've had the chance to meet more than my fair share of politicians. I enjoy visiting with them, most of the time. They are typically very charming, but also very charismatic and filled with a bright vision for what could be. These are all things that I'm drawn to, so I enjoy it when I get to visit with someone who exudes these things, but it also saddens me when I meet someone who seems to be faking it. Like they're reading words written by someone else, right off a teleprompter. It might sound good, but it feel hollow.

Amy Winehouse said "If you don't throw yourself into something, you'll never know what you could have had." Excellent quote, but from someone who didn't really get the chance to shine as brightly as she could have. It's a sad coincidence that one of her biggest hits was a song called REHAB, it's about rejecting the idea of going to rehab. Sadly, Winehouse passed away at just 27 years old from alcohol poisoning from drinking too much. She had some wonderful thoughts in the quote for today, but It would have been amazing to see how much more she could have done if her life was not cut short by alcohol. Many singers have passed away at the age of 27. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain are members of the 27 Club.

Alex Trebek said "I just enjoy the moment I’m in. For me, life is a whole experience, not just a series of isolated moments. It’s like submerging yourself into a warm bath rather than sticking your toe under the faucet." What a quote! Alex Trebek seemed like a nice guy. He was an excellent host of Jeopardy for all those years. I know there were many people at the network who were concerned that they might not be able to fill his shoes when he passed away. I think Ken Jennings was the most brilliant choice. He was on the show as a contestant and he won the hearts of the nation by being a fun guy and a likable person. I think they did the right thing by bringing him on as the heir apparent. It would have been tough for anyone else!

Robin Williams said "There’s no shame in failing. The only shame is not giving things your best shot." I love this quote. I love the whole mindset actually. I'm not afraid to fail. I've done that many times, but I kept fighting. When I've been knocked down, I've always stood back up and kept moving forward. It's the times you stay down that you really fail. I read a book from Al Neuharth. He talked about failing with a newspaper when he was young. It didn't stop him from becoming a successful publisher. In fact, he said that failure allowed him the ability to take the chance on the USA Today. You might think that sounds weird, but it makes sense when you understand that failing is not bad, it's just one more step closer to a win.

Guglielmo Marconi said "Every day sees humanity more victorious in the struggle with space and time." What a quote! Imagine what Marconi would think about the new technologies we have today. He's known by many as the inventor of the radio... back in 1895 he was successful in sending audio over the airwaves. Some will point out that Nicola Tesla had created a similar technology first and even won a patent battle, but Marconi was the first to be commercially successful. Either way, they both hold a special place in MY heart as a broadcaster. I think Marconi would be astonished at the technology we have now. I think Tesla may have actually expected this technology to have been done sooner! He was far ahead of his time!
