"You have undoubtedly heard the phrase, 'Plan your work and work your plan.' Planning is as important as purpose because it gets you where you're going... faster. To do twice as much in half the time, you can't approach your goals haphazardly. A well-thought plan will keep you clearly on track towards your goal; and the methods of planning are as varied as our personalities. So, what is your method of planning?"

"Marty's greatest lesson was not what he told me but what he constantly showed me. In one or two minutes of time we had the opportunity to define ourselves as human beings. There isn't much room for error. Two minutes is what Marty spent with most customers. If you think about it, two minutes is about the average amount of time we spend with most people in our lives. In a precious few moments, what we say and what we do can be lasting."

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind... let it be something good."

~Mac Anderson, author Finding Joy
