Sow and Reap . . . . . Charles A. Hill
Live For Others . . . . . Seneca “No one can live happily who regards oneself alone, who turns everything to one’s own advantage. You must live for others if you wish to live for yourself.”
Prepare Yourself . . . . . B.C. Forbes, Forbes, 6-29-87“Ignorance is blind. The blind cannot see opportunity. Fit yourself to see opportunity. Knowledge illuminates. Mediocre persons wait for opportunity to come to them. Strong, able, alert persons go after opportunity. Opportunity can benefit no one who has not fitted oneself to seize it and use it. Opportunity woos the worthy, shuns the unworthy. Prepare yourself to grasp opportunity and opportunity is likely to come your way. It is not so fickle, capricious and unreasoning as some complain.”
On Work Thomas . . . . . Alva Edison
“I never did anything worth doing by accident;
On Character . . . . . Horace Greeley
Make Big Plans . . . . . Daniel H. Burnham “Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die.”
Care of the Soul . . . . . St. Thomas Moore “Care of the soul, looking back with special regard to ancient psychologies for insight and guidance, recovers a sense of the sacredness of each individual life. This sacred quality is not just value — all lives are important. It is the unfathomable mystery that is the very seed and heart of each individual.”
Adversity . . . . . Lou Holtz “All the great teams in sports, as well as most great people, overcome adversity. Adversity is what we look for, for in adversity there is opportunity.”
Fully Human, Fully Alive . . . . . Fr. John Powell, SJ
Laughter is a Leap . . . . . G.K. Chesterton “It is really a natural trend to lapse into taking oneself gravely because it is the easiest thing to do … for solemnity flows out of men naturally but laughter is a leap. It is easy to be heavy; hard to light. Satan fell by force of gravity.”
Good Leadership . . . . . Bits & Pieces, July ‘87 “Consistency is one of the essential requirements of good leadership. People who cannot present a consistent set of values, both in words and deeds, betray an inner confusion. And whether they mean to or not, they will pass this confusion on to their associates.”
Effective Communications . . . . . Earl Nightingale , Insight, # 52“Our ability to effectively communicate will determine our ability to sell our ideas. Selling can involve a product, a service, selling others on the good life, and just generally getting our ideas across in a telling and effective way. Nick Carter said communication is taking the images we have in our minds and transferring them into the minds of another or a group. It’s saying something worthwhile in a worthwhile way.”
On Education . . . . . Aristotle
“The fate of empires depends
Executive: Person of Action . . . . . Woodrow Wilson
“An executive is a person of action. In an executive job we (intellectuals) are
Always Believe In Yourself . . . . . Lee Wheeler , Blue Mtn. Arts
“The most difficult thing at times is to find enough strength to believe in
yourself. “God is not a God of sadness, but the Devil is. Christ is a God of joy. It is pleasing to God whenever you rejoice or laugh from the bottom of your heart.”
Presence of God . . . . . Teilhard de Chardin, SJ
“Joy is the most infallible sign
How Does Christ Easter in Us? . . . . . Walter J. Burghhardt, SJ, pp. ix-x
The Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote an ambitious poem entitled “The
Wreck of the Deutschland.”
With Christ, through him and in him, let us strive to make all things new!
Today, Let Christ ‘easter’ in you.

“Jesus asks us to be as concerned and loving to our world and times as he was to
his. However, because all conduct ultimately is the result of a vision, the
important thing is to grasp the basic vision of reality that Jesus had, his
inner attitudes and belief system. This is the ultimate source of human health
and happiness. These Jesus has communicated to us through his message and in his
person.”
dangerous, unless we are aware of our limitations and take measures to stop our
everlasting disposition to think, to listen, to — not act. I made up my mind
long ago, when I got into my first executive job, to open my mind for a while,
hear everybody who came to me with advice, information — what you will — then,
someday, the day when my mind felt like deciding to shut it up and act. My
decision might be right; it might be wrong. No matter, I would take a chance and
do — something.”
