Jump In! The Water's Fine.

I don't know if I'm just stupid or what, but I am prone to jump into things that I have no business jumping into. I guess it's a kind of "dumb" and it seems to more or less work for me.

If I get excited about something, anything, I'll throw all my resources into it. Time, thoughts, emotions, brain power, etc. It doesn't seem to matter whether I know anything about it or not. I'll read, make it up, or maybe even ask others about it, all during the process of trying. Knowledge is not a prerequisite if I'm excited about doing it.

The bottom line, one trait I have going for me is my willingness to try new things, the lack of fear to try, and the absolute absence of the thought of failing.

W. Somerset Maugham Said...

When I read a book I seem to read it with my eyes only, but now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me.

Sunday Scripture Choice

Micah 7: 18, 19

Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

SUCCESS: S*U*C*C*E- Execution

<>"It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever -- the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it."- Vince Lombardi<>

Watching the Winter Olympics opening session, you will see a group of people who fall into a unique class- the doers. <>

Many have dreamed of being Olympic Champions, but only those who put in the work can actually be Olympic Champions. <>

Talent helps as well.

Henry David Thoreau Said...

Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

Andy Roony Said...

Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.

SUCCESS: S*U*C*C- Committment

"You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist".- Isaac Asimov (US science fiction novelist & scholar 1920 - 1992)

"If at first you don't succeed, try playing second base."

"If at first you don't recede, diet and diet again."
