Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.”–Charles R.

To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.”–Pearl Buck “The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”–Vince Lombardi Determination and Persistence Since every business or other endeavor is bound to hit some rough patches, it’s often a person’s level of determination and patience that brings about either success or failure.

Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses… on your powers, instead of your problems.”–Paul J. Meyer “Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.”--Hal Borland “Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”–Calvin Coolidge
