Giant Statement March 23rd

Once upon a time, there were four people. Their names were Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Whenever there was an important job to be done, Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it. But Nobody did it.
When Nobody did it, Everybody got angry because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought that Somebody would do it, but Nobody realized that Nobody would do it. So, consequently Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done in the first place.

Giant Statement March 12th

Half of the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping. Julius Hare

Giant Statement March 10th

We are responsible for actions performed in response to circumstances for which we are not responsible. –Allan Massie

Focus March 9th

Focus 82BGR8 Boldness - Giving emphasis to what you are doing makes your brain pay attention to it. I have students, who by stomping their foot and speaking louder, in a particular exercise, learned faster and better. Their brain would not pay attention to the activity when they were not giving the exercise enough energy.
Laser vs. Flashlight - Both lasers and flashlights are lights. Flashlights are great for what they do but they spread the light. Their light doesn't go very far. Lasers on the other hand stick to a narrow focus and they touch the stars. With the focused light of a laser we can perform surgery.
Life is what it is and distractions come up. Keep your razor sharp laser focus and the distractions can be handled without losing the main focus.
By harnessing a small amount of sunlight a fire can be started. Just take your magnifying glass and focus the light to a small point and it is hot enough to start a fire. Take the energy you have to comlete a task and focus it down so the task gets completed faster, easier and better.

Giant Statement March 4th

The great composer does not set to work because he is inspired but he becomes inspired because he is working. Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, Mozart settled down day after day to the job at hand with as much regularity as an accountant settles down each day to his figures.
Ernest Newman, English Music Critic

Giant Statements March 3rd

Nothing is more important than passion. . . Whatever you decide to do in life, just be passionate about it. --Jon Bon Jovi, singer/songwriter

Passion is huge. I think being irrationally passionate is extremely healthy. Gravitate towards the things you love. Sandra Yingling, psychologist
