Just ASK for What You Want!

If you don't go after what you want, 

you'll never have it. 

If you don't ask, 

the answer is always no. 

If you don't step forward, 

you're always in the same place.

Accept Yourself!

When you know yourself you are empowered.

When you accept yourself you are 

invincible.

Perseverance!

“Determine that the thing can and shall be done,

 and then we shall find the way.” 

~Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

A Life in Brief

When Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860, seven slave states left the Union to form the Confederate States of America, and four more joined when hostilities began between the North and South. A bloody civil war then engulfed the nation as Lincoln vowed to preserve the Union, enforce the laws of the United States, and end the secession.

A TRUTH MISUNDERSTOOD!

“ There is no worse lie than 

a truth misunderstood 

by those who hear it. ”

~ William James
(1842-1910)

William James was an original thinker in and between the disciplines of physiology, psychology and philosophy. His twelve-hundred page masterwork, The Principles of Psychology (1890), is a rich blend of physiology, psychology, philosophy, and personal reflection that has given us such ideas as “the stream of thought” and the baby's impression of the world “as one great blooming, buzzing confusion”

Are we really ever wasting time?

"Creativity is the residue 

of wasted time." 

~ Albert Einstein

Einstein's education was disrupted by his father's repeated failures at business. In 1894, after his company failed to get an important contract to electrify the city of Munich, Hermann Einstein moved to Milan, Italy, to work with a relative. Einstein was left at a boarding house in Munich and expected to finish his education. Alone, miserable, and 

repelled by the looming prospect of military duty when he turned 16, Einstein ran away six months later and landed on the doorstep of his surprised parents. His parents realized the enormous problems that he faced as a school dropout and draft dodger with no employable skills. His prospects did not look promising.

What People Say vs. What People Do...

The older I get 

the less I listen to what people say 

and the more I look at what they do. 

~ Andrew Carnegie

FULL-TIME PHILANTHROPIST

When Carnegie retired from business in 1901, he set about in earnest to distribute his fortune. In addition to libraries, he provided hundreds of church organs to local communities.  Carnegie's wealth helped to establish numerous colleges, schools, nonprofit organizations and associations both in his adopted country, as well as in Scotland and throughout the globe. His most significant contribution, both in terms of money and in terms of enduring influence, was the establishment of several endowed trusts or institutions bearing his name.

By the time of his death in 1919, Andrew Carnegie had given away about $350 million, but the legacy of his generosity continues to unfold in the work of the trusts and institutions that he endowed.
