I like it...

Tonight, I was in a "motivating-myself" mood.

I wanted great quotes that inspire me to go for my goals, my hopes, my dreams.

To find a job that I love, to move to a place that I love...

and to succeed.

To be the businesswoman I've always hoped I'd be.

So here are quotes that just totally made my night.

I hope you like them.

“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” ~Miriam Beard

(I love this for my "travel bug")

"Hire character. Train skill."  ~Peter Schutz

(This epitomizes me. And what I hope to show in interviews)

"To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business, and your business in your heart." ~Thomas Watson, Sr.

(Heart. I love heart. Heart in sports. Heart in friendships. 

Love.  Schoolwork. Heart in Clemson. Heart in anything you do.)

"A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not."  ~Unknown

"Leaders need to be optimists.  Their vision is beyond the present." ~Rudy Giuliani

"Leadership is based on a spiritual quality; the power to inspire, the power to inspire others to follow." ~Vince Lombardi

(Oh, Vince. The power to inspire. I love it)

“Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.”  

~Lee Iacocca

"If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own." ~Henry Ford

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference."

~Reinhold Niebuhr

(This man was my grandfather's minister. 

Yes, that's right, my Grandpa KNEW this man--Awesome Sauce)

"Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently." ~Henry Ford

"Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning." ~Bill Gates

“The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it.” ~Franklin P. Jones

(This reminded me of Dad.)

“To move ahead you need to believe in yourself...have conviction in your beliefs and the confidence to execute those beliefs.” ~Adlin Sinclair

(This reminds me of Mom.)

“Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, ''Make me feel important.'' Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life.” ~Mary Kay Ash

(So true.)

SIDENOTE: I LOVE Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October).

Last year, women on Facebook, put the color of their bra on their FB status.

This year, for Breast Cancer Awareness, women are posting where they like to put their purse.

i.e. I like it on the floor. I like it on the table. I like it in the kitchen.

It's HILARIOUS! And a great community thing for us women all to know, in secret.

(For my Aunt Linda)

Goodnight.

All my love,
