I thought it was pretty funny! When I first saw it I had to do a double-take.

I just love the quote on my signature. As a Christian, it has even deeper meaning to me.

lorilynn · 08-27-2006, 03:29 PM

A couple of quotes from a book I am currently reading, Jack Canfield - Success Principals

"Some Will, Some Won't, So What, Who's Next!"

" You can make excuses or you can make money, but you can't do both!"

Have a Great Day!

Here are two about time. . .I'm a procrastinator so I need to be reminded.

Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it, kill it and spend it rather than invest it. ~ Jim Rohn

What I do today is important because I am paying a day of my life for it. What I accomplish must be worthwhile because the price is high. ~ (Author Unknown)

I don't know who said it, but I love it! We have a special needs 3 year old son and it makes me think about how precious his life is and even though he may not be with us a long time he has and will continue to enrich our lives.

This is one of my fav's also, funny huh? Because it's so true and the moments that take your breath away are usually the reason you are who you are today.

Let's see.... I have a few that I like...

No one gets to choose their lot in life, but we can all choose what we build on it.

You don't quit playing because you grow old, you grow old because you quit playing.

Enthusiasm is contagious. Not having enthusiasm is also contagious.

I also like "If at first you don't succeed....Try following the directions"

Jack Canfield is an Awesome Motivator. I had a chance to hear him speak last year. I just started reading his book The Success Principals. He is all about taking 100% responsibility for where you are in life and focusing you on your dreams. So far I am enjoying the book and I am trying to put it to work for me.

Have a Great Day!

"You would not worry about what people think about you if you realize how little they do." That one changed my outlook on life.

My romantic one...from Winnie the Pooh
“If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.”

AJPratt · 08-28-2006, 09:38 AM

OK... As you can ALL imagine, this ranks up very high with me:

Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind.

Also... Since I'm a cryer.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Dr. Seuss

AJPratt · 08-29-2006, 01:20 PM

I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a b*tch, okay.

Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion.

***Dream as if you'll live forever,
Live as if you'll die today.***

Some people tell me this is too morbid, but I feel that it is too true! It was on a James Dean poster that I bought a few years back. It's always stuck with me.
