"You
cant build a great company without

Over the past few years, a number of
companies in a wide range of industries
from airlines to steel, computers
to hotels have asked themselves
what separates their winners from their
losers, good hires from bad, and they
all arrived at the same answer: what
people know is less important than who
they are. Hiring, they believe, is not
about finding people with the right
experience; its about finding
people with the right mind-set. These
companies hire for attitude and train
for skill."Peter Carbonara
"To
Achieve Your Dreams Remember Your ABC's
Avoid negative sources, people, places,
things and habits. Believe in yourself.
Consider things from every angle. Don't
give up and don't give in. Enjoy life
today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow may
never come. Family and friends are hidden
treasures, seek them and enjoy their
riches. Give more than you planned to.
Hang on to your dreams. Ignore those
who try to discourage you. Just do it.
Keep trying no matter how hard it seems,
it will get easier. Love yourself first
and most. Make it happen. Never lie,
cheat or steal, always strike a fair
deal. Open your eyes and see things
as they really are. Practice makes perfect.
Quitters never win and winners never
quit. Read, study and learn about everything
important in your life.
Stop procrastinating. Take control of
your own destiny. Understand yourself
in order to better understand others.
Visualize it. Want it more than anything.
Excellerate your efforts.
You are unique of all God's creations,
nothing can replace YOU. Zero in on
your target and go for it!"

"Even
though conditions such as lack of sleep,
insufficient food and various mental
stresses may suggest that the inmates
were bound to react in certain ways,
in the final analysis it becomes clear
that the sort of person the prisoner
became was the result of an inner decision,
and not the result of camp influences
alone. Fundamentally, therefore, any
man can, even under such circumstances,
decide what shall become of him
mentally and spiritually. He may retain
his human dignity even in a concentration
camp.
I became acquainted with those martyrs
whose behavior in camp, whose suffering
and death, bore witness to the fact
that the last inner freedom cannot be

men in a concentration camp believed
that the real opportunities of life

simply vegetate, as did a majority of
the prisoners."Viktor E. Frankl

of the human freedoms to choose
ones attitude in any given set
of circumstances to choose one's
own way. "

MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN:
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think that you dare not, you

If you'd like to win, but you think
you can't,
It's almost certain you won't.
If
you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world you'll find,
Success begins with a fellow's will,
It's all in the state of mind.
If
you think you are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can."
