Inspirational Quote Post

Feel free to grab quotes from anywhere on the net. All you need is to copy the quote and who said it.

I personally read 3-5 quotes every 2 hours during the business day to remind myself to reach for greatness, and I look forward to turning this discussion into a section of the network that will inspire us all.

than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much,

I saw your quote and had to comment. In my resume' for my last (and hopefully final job, for life) I told about how I crossed trained all my employees for every job they could learn, even mine! It was an asset to my company and it did not make me feel my job was "jeopardized or threatened" but rather gave me the feeling of job security! The president and vice president were thouroughly impressed with this form of management skills. If, God forbid, I had died the next day, there were 2 to 3 great candidates to step in and take my place at a moment's notice! That was my key to success! If someone was not, could not, or willing and able to do their job, I had 2 or 3 individuals who would, could, able, and willing!! I gave upper management their money's worth, peace of mind, a crew that worked as a T.E.A.M ~ Together We Acheive More, and then some! It was also the motivation factor that kept me striving to do better, and made me do my job better, and then some!

Peace, Love & Prosperity to You in '2009!!"
