Tip of the Day/ Motivational Tip

<> "Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead." --Morihei Ueshiba <> "It looks as if there were a single ultimate goal for mankind, a far goal toward which all persons strive. This is called variously by different authors self-actualization, self-realization, integration, psychological health, individuation, autonomy, creativity, productivity, but they all agree that this amounts to realizing the potentialities of the person, that is to say, becoming fully human, everything that person can be." --Abraham Maslow <> "No limits are set to the ascent of man, and to each and everyone the highest stands open. Here it is only your personal choice that decides." --Martin Buber <> <> You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done." --Ronald Reagan <> <> "Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better." --Harry S. Truman <> <> "Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values." --Ayn Rand <> <> "If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal." --Norman Vincent Peale <> <> I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying. Woody Allen <> <> I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near. Margaret Thatcher <> <> Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all. Sam Ewing <> <> Hard work means prosperity; only a fool idles away his time. Proverbs<> <> Happiness is the real sense of fulfillment that comes from hard work. Joseph Barbara <> <> Great work is done by people who are not afraid to be great. Fernando Flores <> <> Get happiness out of your work or you may never know what happiness is. Elbert Hubbard <> <> Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. Theodore Roosevelt <> <> Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. Theodore Roosevelt <> <> Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited. Napoleon Hill <> <> Success in Work and Life ?. "You already know the answers. You just don't want to hear them from yourself." --Sunny Vanderbeck, Cofounder, Data Return Corp <> <> "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." --Theodore Roosevelt <> <> "The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it." --Pearl Buck, The Joy of Children, 1964 <> <> "I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it." --Rita Mae Brown <> <> "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." --Mark Twain <> <<>> "The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication." --Cecil B. DeMille (1881 - 1959) <<>> <<>> "Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing." --Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)<<>> <<>> "A successful individual typically sets his next goal somewhat but not too much above his last achievement. In this way he steadily raises his level of aspiration." --Kurt Lewin (1890 - 1947)<<>> / "People are not your most important resource, the right people are." --Jim Collins, Good to Great / <> "We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings." --Abraham Maslow <> <> Make your life a mission - not an intermission." --Arnold Glasgow <> <<< "Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment." --Baltasar Gracian, The Oracle 1647 >>> <<< Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people." --Lee Iacocca >>> "There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there." --Indira Gandhi / I think, therefore I am (Cogito, ergo sum.) - Descartes *** / *** I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me. - Dudley Field Malone ***/*** In the outskirts of Dubuque, on the farm, when I was growing up - back there, back then - I learned, with all the pigs and chickens and the endless sameness everywhere you looked, or thought, back there I learned - though I doubt I knew I was learning it - that all the values were relative save one..."Who am I?"

Each grows out of the other, and we need them all. - Arthur C. Clarke *** / **** Nothing is more terrible than activity without insight. - Thomas Calyle, Scottish essayist and historian ***/*** If the past cannot teach the present and the father cannot teach the son, then history need not have bothered to go on, and the world has wasted a great deal of time. Russell Hoban (b. 1925), U.S. author. - Jachin-Boaz, in The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz, ch. 1 (1973). ***/*** I have never let my schooling interfere with my education - Mark Twain ***/*** It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well. - Henri-Frبdبric Amiel (1821-81), Swiss philosopher, poet.

Reflبxions et Maximes, no. 479 (1746). ***/*** Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major-perhaps the major-stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor. - Jean Franءois Lyotard (b. 1924), French philosopher. The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge, Introduction (1979). *** / **** Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is and will be consumed in order to be valorized in a new production: in both cases, the goal is exchange. Knowledge ceases to be an end in itself, it loses its use-value. - Jean Franءois Lyotard (b. 1924), French philosopher. The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge, Introduction (1979). *** / *** If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. . . .

All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience. - Mao Zedong (1893-1976), founder of the People's Republic of China. Speech, July 1937, Yenan, China. ***/*** There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul. - Arnold Bennett (1867-1931), British novelist. The Journals of Arnold Bennett (1932), entry for 18 March 1897. *** / *** What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand. - Kung Fu Tzu (Confucius) ***/ *** When you know something, say what you know. When you don't know something, say that you don't know. That is knowledge." - Kung Fu Tzu (Confucius) *** / *** Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance. But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing. Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort. But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing. - Kung Fu Tzu (Confucius) *** / *** To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty. - Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.), Legendary Chinese philosopher. *** / *** The road to wisdom?-Well, it's plain and simple to express: Err and err and err again but less and less and less. - Piet Hein, Danish inventor and poet. *** / *** The road to wisdom?-Well, it's plain and simple to express: Err and err and err again but less and less and less. - Piet Hein, Danish inventor and poet. ***/*** Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two. - Octavio Paz *** / *** renown, on scraps of learning dote, And think they grow immortal as they quote. - Edward Young *** / *** Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching. - Oscar Wilde "The Decay of Lying" *** / *** Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. - B.

This ideology is compounded from different sources: items that have survived from religion, items of empirical knowledge, items of protective skepticism, items culled for comfort from the superficial learning that is supplied. But the point is that common-sense can never teach itself, can never advance beyond its own limits, for as soon as the lack of fundamental learning has been made good, all items become questionable and the whole function of common-sense is destroyed. Common-sense can only exist as a category insofar as it can be distinguished from the spirit of enquiry, from philosophy. - John Berger, British author, critic. ***/*** It takes two to speak the truth,--one to speak, and another to hear. - Henry David Thoreau ***/*** Training is everything.

Television documentary, BBC1, 6 Feb. 1992. ***/*** The only kind of learning which significantly influences behavior is self-discovered or self-appropriated learning - truth that has been assimilated in experience. - Carl Rogers ***/*** For learning to take place with any kind of efficiency students must be motivated. To be motivated, they must become interested. And they become interested when they are actively working on projects which they can relate to their values and goals in life. - Gus Tuberville, President, William Penn College ***/*** Learning is not a spectator sport. - D. Blocher *** / **** You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself. - Galileo Galilei ***/*** The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing." - John Powell *** / *** Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
