Quotes

Hello All.



I receive an encouraging quote every Monday from a co-worker (Thanks Marina) to keep me motivated throughout the competition. She observes me (I'm learning) and uses those observations to determine what type of quote I receive. She will sometimes add her own thoughts-(I WILL PUT THEM IN CAPS). With the exception of people who stop by my desk, no one has seen the quotes. So I'm going to share those I've received so far and will share my new quote with you when I receive it on Monday mornings.



Week of March 16-"Not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the next best place for the next moment"-Oprah Winfrey



Week of March 23-"If there is no struggle, there is no progress"-Frederick Douglas


"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate"-Oprah Winfrey (THIS WEEK IT'S ALL ABOUT ATTITUDE!)



Week of March 30-"I want to grow. I want to be better. You grow. We all grow. We're made to grow. You either evolve or you disappear" – Tupac Shakur (KEEP GROWING ALICIA, YOU HAVE THE SUPPORT FOR CHANGE!!!)



Week of April 6-"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it" & "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."- Both by Maya Angelou



Week of April 21-"The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places" – author unknown (NO PARKING & STAY FOCUSED)



Week of April 27-"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go…And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three quarters percent guaranteed." – Dr. Seuss



Week of May 4 – "Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb." – Sir Winston Churchill



Week of May 11 – I'm bringing sexy back" – Justin Timberlake



That last one is funny but I will totally own it!! I have tremendous support from my co-workers and it's truly helpful and appreciated. Stay encouraged & be encouraging to others.



Until next time……………

  1. I just saw the sexy back quote as I stopped by today---it made me laugh and it seemed 100% appropriate!
    Kudos to the coworkers (wink!) but more importantly, kudos to you for continuing to work at achieving your own goals.
    You can do it!
