Today’s quote on success

“The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.”
–Dale Carnegie

Playing it safe is certainly the easiest thing to do. Just sit back and relax in your comfort zone and nothing much will happen. Once you make the choice to sit behind the driving seat of your own life then you really can start to take control and achieve great things.

The person that is willing to take action is the person who is going to succeed. You must face your fears and take risks. The world belongs to the risk takers, the dreams and the doers.

Don’t let life sail you by on autopilot. Make sure you get far from shore and sail out into the big wide ocean of opportunity.

This was recently shared with me by my friend Vevil Gangte.

I thought I would share it with you guys!

Enjoy….

There is a wonderful story from the play, Some Folks Feel the Rain; Others Just Get Wet, that truly captures how people really feel about working together. Here it is…Enjoy!

A man was lost while driving through the country. As he tried to reach for the map, he accidentally drove off the road into a ditch. Though he wasn’t injured, his car was stuck deep in the mud. So the man walked to a nearby farm to ask for help.

Warwick can get you out of that ditch,” said the farmer, pointing to an old mule standing in a field. The man looked at the decrepit old mule and looked at the farmer who just stood there repeating, “Yep, old Warwick can do the job.” The man figured he had nothing to lose. The two men and the mule made their way back to the ditch. The farmer hitched the mule to the car. With a snap of the reins, he shouted,

“Pull, Fred! Pull, Jack! Pull, Ted! Pull, Warwick!”

And the mule pulled that car right out of the ditch.

The man was amazed. He thanked the farmer, patted the mule, and asked, “Why did you call out all of those names before you called Warwick?”

The farmer grinned and said, “Old Warwick is just about blind. As long as he believes he’s part of a team, he doesn’t mind pulling.”
