DATE THOUGHT OF THE DAY
04/01/17"It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them." - Leo Buscaglia
04/02/17"It is the capacity to develop and improve their skills that distinguishes leaders from followers." - Warren G. Bennis

04/04/17"There is nothing like knowing you have a real opportunity to affect the future in a positive way." - Tisha Johnson
04/05/17"FOCUS = Follow On Course Until Successful." - Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha

04/11/17"If your organization requires success before commitment, it will never have either. Part of leadership (a big part of it, actually) is the ability to stick with the dream for a long time. Long enough that the critics realize that you're going to get there one way or another ... so they follow." - Seth Godin
04/12/17"Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all." Thomas Szasz
04/13/17"Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." - Warren Buffett

04/16/17"We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly." - Benjamin Franklin
04/17/17"Worrying is like paying a debt you don't owe." - Mark Twain
04/18/17"Happiness depends upon ourselves." - Aristotle
04/19/17"A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion." - Ludwig Wittgenstein
04/20/17"One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying." - Joan of Arc
04/21/17"A day of worry is more exhausting than a day of work." - John Lubbock
04/22/17"Science is built with facts as a house is with stones, but a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house." - Jules Henri Poincare
