Re:List of Inspirational Quotes down south xhubbie: Thanks for these RH
I especially like the one by Dale Carnegie
"When life hands you lemons, make lemonade."
that's always been my philosophy
There is a guy that Stephen Covey discusses in one of his books. The guy had a terrible run of bad luck. Just when he thought he was getting back on top, he had a bad motorcycle accident which left him with 2nd and 3rd degree burns all of his body when his gas tank caught on fire. This guy didn't let it dissuade him or make him shy away from the public eye. In fact, he ran for Congress in the state of Colorado. His campaign slogan was "not just another pretty face". no kidding. This guy had an incredible will to succeed.
I'm printing these off right now. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
