<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Malcolm
X said “Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone;
but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.”
WOW, that's quite the quote! I can relate to this. When I was a kid,
there were three boys and three girls in my family. I'm number three,
right in the middle. We had other kids in the neighborhood and we had
a fight or two. My dad told us to never start a fight, but it was OK
to finish the fight. That happened a time or two. Thank goodness it
was never as serious as our quote from Malcom X, but it built some
character for sure. My younger brother and I were in wrestling, then
later in boxing. I was never really a “fighter” but I could if
needed.</b></span></span></p>bigjohnsmallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280049434584229042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477527659860673774.post-30352600739118228932024-03-25T12:08:00.010-05:002024-03-25T12:08:54.726-05:00<p><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">The

Tzu said “A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on

with the winds that come your way. Stay wherever you find yourself.
Think about that... you might actually FIND YOURSELF by doing this.
Find something you might not have even realized you'd enjoy. Find
people you enjoy meeting. Find things you enjoy doing. Find places
you enjoy visiting. I think I have a new goal... to find myself... by

Wooden said “Today is the only day. Yesterday is gone.” So true!
Do you ever find yourself talking about how good things used to be,
or how much better things were at a certain point. It's nice to
reminisce, but it's nicer to do what you can to make your future as
bright as your fond memories. Sometimes, these memories include
someone who's no longer with us. They'll still be with you in your
memories, but we can't live in the past. Find a positive way to move
forward and build new memories. I've seen families do amazing things
in honor of a loved one. Positively impacting tomorrow by helping
people... what a great way to remember someone special we've lost.</b></span></span></p>bigjohnsmallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280049434584229042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477527659860673774.post-58603609399664358112024-03-25T12:08:00.004-05:002024-03-25T12:08:23.764-05:00<p><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">The

Sassoon said “The only place where success comes before work is in
the dictionary.” I love that. I know many successful entrepreneurs,
and each of them have made it in life because they worked hard. I
also know some people who have never really put the time and effort
in to become successful, but they're more like wantrepreneurs. They
want to be successful, but they just haven't put in the time and
effort to be a success. There's a tiny fraction of people who become
a success pretty quickly, but most people don't get to experience
that. It typically takes a long time, a bunch of effort and a bunch
of work. Sadly, many people give up WAY before they get to the finish

He was a pilot before World War 2. When the US got involved, Jimmy
Stewart was already a big star. He would have easily been allowed to
help the war effort without going to war. Instead he insisted that he
put his pilot skills to use. He did it well and won awards. When he
returned to Hollywood, one of his first films was “It's a Wonderful

Louis Stevenson said "Don't judge each day by the harvest you
reap but by the seeds that you plant." Great quote. I grew up in
a small town in farm country. When I was about twelve I worked at a
farm. I learned quite a bit working there. The family I worked with
also lived in town, but we would drive out each day to do whatever
project was needed that day. I remember planting season and harvest
season. I remember thinking that was it, but boy was I wrong. There
is so much to do between the two... and if you don't do it, there
won't be much of a harvest. In life, if YOU want to get more, be sure

excellent quote. Have you ever done anything impossible? It's
awesome. I've done it a few times. I remember being told that
something was not possible, but it bothered me too much to not even
try it. I spent my own time and my own resources to work on this
project. Then I found a way to get it done, when a few industry
experts tole me it couldn't be done. What they really meant was THEY
have never done it that way. I decided to try it to see what would
happen. We pushed some technology further and did some cool stuff

this quote was shared though, even if it's tough to talk about, we
NEED to talk with one another about these things. A simple discussion

Someone makes a comment on social media. You click on their profile

even a little info from their ABOUT section. You've made up your

he also said “You don’t have to turn this into something. It

to be pretty strict with yourself. Why expect more of others if you
don't expect at LEAST that much from yourself? The second quote
reminds us that we don't have to take every single thing personally,
sometimes that's a bad idea. I recently watched two friends who've
been very close for over a decade, let a fight over something silly
get between them. Don't fall into that! Know when to fight, and when
not to!

he was the founder of the franchise McDonalds. There was a movie
about him a few years ago. The Founder was not a super kind to Mr.

is one way of looking at it, another way is to realize that he had

I remember when Rita first began doing stand up comedy. Her

time… but her sharp wit cut right through, and she left an amazing
impression. Her point here was about how strong her grandmother was.
I can relate to that too. Sadly, my grandmother passed away a few
years ago. I miss her and I miss her laugh. She’s pretty much the
one responsible for my weird sense of humor. She would make me laugh
