Thought For The Day

Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life.  ~Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities

Thought For The Day

There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Faith is an expectation in something good, while fear is an expectation in something bad.

Thought For The Day

Excellence is a daily endeavor
What can you do today that will make the most difference tomorrow? What can you do today that will improve your performance over yesterday?

What can you do today that will have the biggest positive impact on the most people? What can you do today that is above and beyond what's expected of you?

What can you do today that will help you grow? What new things can you learn? What can you do to apply the lessons you've already learned?

Excellence comes not from platitudes and good intentions, but rather from days and moments lived with the sincere and committed effort to be your best.
