Our Weekly Message for March 5, 2003
|
|
Greetings special
friends,
We have completed 18
out of 23 competitions for the year and continue
to be amazed at the outstanding teams that we see
each week. So much discipline and focus goes into
the preparation for these performances. Make sure
to continue to monitor the
contest page for
schedules and results.
Here are some thoughts for the day:
"We can secure other people's approval, if we do
it right and try hard; but our own is worth a
hundred of it."
-- Mark Twain
"Praise works with only three types of people;
men, women, and children."
-- Anonymous
"When someone does something well, applaud! You
will make two people happy."
-- Samuel Goldwyn
CR and I give praise
each and every day for the wonderful jobs we have
in working with young people. It lifts us up each
week when we could be weary from the long work
hours, but remain so fulfilled by seeing the
positive results of our efforts along with the
incredible talents we see. Below is a special
passage on The Thrill of Work by Paul Meyer. I
hope that each of you are happy in your jobs and
know that it is never about the money, but about
the love and passion for your work. I hope that
you enjoy this passage as much as we did.
Have a wonderful week, and, as always, please keep
in touch.

The EXCITING
THRILL of WORK
by Paul Meyer
Work is PURE JOY!
Work polishes silver and gold . . .it refines character.
Work rows "Life's Boat" upstream.
Work weeds the garden and the mind,
Work lifts weights and spirits,
Work overcomes adversity and defeat,
Work is an exciting thrill!
Work is the action in motivation.
Work is the breath of life.
Work is the reward for being alive.
Work mines coal from the earth and uncovers diamonds!
Work moves the wings that put the eagles high in the
air.
Work brings reality to the dreams of inventors.
Work - intelligent work - has made America the most
prosperous nation in the world.
Work, when applied toward a meaningful goal, develops
human potential.
It is work that has:
Bridged the chasms . . .
Tunneled the mountains . . .
Placed the giant communication cables on the bottom of
the sea . . .
Built highways over plains and deserts...
Lifted space ships to the moon . . .
Built our factories . . .
Erected our schools and hospitals, and . . .
Made the scientific discoveries that have made our lives
easier and happier.
Work is a way of putting your stamp on what you do - it
is your personality -
your own uniqueness.
The inspiration created by your work breathes your
spirit into each hour of the day.
Only through your work can you contribute to human
progress.
James W. Elliott said, "Work is life, and good work is
good life."
Work is love in action.
Work, supported by a healthy self-image and a positive
mental attitude,
multiplies all future achievement. |
