About Me

------------------------------------------------------------ -----
A couple of my Favorite Quotes:
Imagination is much more important than knowledge
--Albert Einstein
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
--Winston Churchill
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
--Einstein
Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be.
--Jack Welch
Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
-- Winston Churchill
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!
