3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
“Overnight success always takes a year or two.”
II.
“Speed is rewarded in life.
- Decisive. Make decisions quickly and you can correct them faster.
- Proactive. Solve problems now, while they are still small.
- Bold. Go for it today rather than delaying your dreams.
Don’t rush, but don’t wait.”
III.
“Long-term thinking changes your short-term actions.
- When you intend to invest long-term, it changes which stocks you buy.
- When you intend to be in a relationship long-term, it changes the type of person you look for.
- When you intend to stay injury-free for the long term, it changes the type of workouts you do.
Build what lasts.”
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I.
Chef and television personality Julia Child on learning to cook (or learning anything):
“The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude.”
She also said, “To be a good cook you have to have a love of the good, a love of hard work, and a love of creating.”

II.
George Eliot reminds us that we should not worry about making the history books, but rather on making the world better:
“… for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so terrible for you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs.”
