SUCCESS MAXIMS

–Part 1–

Money and Reputation always put Integrity to the Test.

Doing more things faster is no substitute for doing the right things.

“The Will to Win is Important; but the Will to Prepare is Indispensable.” (Joe Paterno)

Praise in Public; Criticize in Private.

Discipline without Direction is Drudgery.

“If you are not fired with Enthusiasm, you will be fired with Enthusiasm.”       (Vince Lombardi)

Don’t let the Circumstances of Life affect your Attitude.

“There is no great fun, satisfaction, or joy derived from doing something that’s easy.” (John Wooden)

A friend on your level needs to do three things:  Provide a Listening Ear, Good Cheer, and a Kick in the Rear.

“The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence, regardless of his chosen field of endeavor.” (Vince Lombardi)

Goals must first be Sound; then Specific, Attainable, and Measurable.

Preach the Gospel at all times; if necessary, use words.
