On Getting things done.... The art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of our great men. Captain J.A. Hatfield We can never really be prepared from that which is wholly new. We have to adjust ourselves, and every radical adjustment is a crisis in self-esteem: we undergo a test, we have to prove ourselves. It needs subordinate self-confidence to face drastic change without inner trembling. Eric Hoffer The hurrier I go, the behinder I get. Anonymous If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. Shunryu Suzuki There is one thing we can do, and the happiest people are those who can do it to the limit of their ability. We can be completely present. We can be all here. We can… give all our attention to the opportunity before us. Mark Van Doren The beginning is half of every action. Greek proverb Vision is not enough; it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps; we must step up the stairs. Vaclav Havel Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. Michael McGriffy, M.D. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. Albert Einstein Celebrate any progress. Don’t wait to get perfect. Ann McGee Cooper Your automatic creative mechanism is teleological. That is, it operates in terms of goals and end results. Once you give it a definite goal to achieve, you can depend upon its automatic guidance system to take you to that goal much better than ‘you’ ever could by conscious thought. ‘You’ supply the goal by thinking in terms of end results. Your automatic mechanism then supplies the means whereby. Maxwell Maltz We all have times when we think more effectively, and times when we should not be thinking at all. Daniel Cohen The middle of every successful project looks like a disaster. Rosabeth Moss Cantor The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting with the first one. Mark Twain I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened. Mark Twain No matter how big and tough a problem may be, get rid of confusion by taking one little step toward solution. Do something. George F. Nordenholt There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction. John F. Kennedy Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes and seeing them gratified. Dr. Samuel Johnson
