Team Building

It's important to remember that abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into. We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions. When you can't have what you want, it's time to start wanting what you have. Don't be afraid to take a big step. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps. A person who follows in another's track leaves no footprints. Thus, the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees.

Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. Every step is an end, and every step is a fresh beginning. In fact, the beginning is the most important part of the work.

Leadership is based on inspiration, not domination; on cooperation, not intimidation. The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The Leader adjusts the sails. The important thing in life is not the victory but the contest; the essential thing is not to have won but to have fought well. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.

It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are. To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. And the manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured. There is no failure except in no longer trying. Commitment is the key to unlocking the door to your dreams! You must commit to your goals. Cut the im out of impossible, leading that dynamic word standing out free and clear - possible.

Hope is a waking dream. There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscience effort. Life does not have meaning through mere existence or acquisition or fun. The meaning of life is inherent in the connections we make to others through honor and obligation. I may not be a smart man but I know what love is. Love is a wonderful thing. You never have to take it away from one person to give it to another. There's always more than enough to go around. And the greatest gift is a portion of thyself.

Now get on that zip line, Ethel. Get on that zip line and fly.
