Top 10 quotes from one of sports all time champions...Muhammad Ali!

Here's the top ten quotes of 'The Greatest' :
10. Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you

think you are.

9. At home I am a nice guy: but I don't want the world to

know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far.

8. He who is not courageous enough to take risks will

accomplish nothing in life.
7. I never thought of losing, but now that it' s happened,

the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to

all the people who believe in me. We all have to take

defeats in life.
6. I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch

in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.

5. What keeps me going is goals.
4. It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief.

And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things

begin to happen.

3. I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.
2. I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit.

Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."

And the most thought provoking one...
1. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the

world that I really was the greatest.

Goal Setting - You've Got To Make Your Goals Big!

Today I'm looking at 'goal setting'...

"A goal properly set is halfway reached." - Abraham Lincoln

"The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the

more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious,

will direct us along the path to its fulfillment." - Earl

Nightingale"

You have to set goals that are almost out of reach. If you

set a goal that is attainable without much work or thought,

you are stuck with something below your true talent and

potential." - Steve Garvey

"Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the

morning; they are an incentive to keep you going all day.

Goals tend to tap the deeper resources and draw the best

out of life." - Harvey Mackay

I'm just off to reset mine so I can go and fill up my mega

thirsty 4 x 4!

Criticism is easy, art is difficult ~ quote by Philippe Destouches

Today we'll have a look at 'criticism' - I always try to

refrain from being critical when my wife is doing something

I don't want to do! Here's a cartoon that was born out of a

recent decorating project - along with a few of my favourite

quotes...

Sandwich every bit of criticism between two thick layers of

praise. ~ Mary Kay Ash

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain.. and most fools

do.~ Dale Carnegie

Don't let anyone say you can't do it. ~ John Ilhan

And my favourite...Never criticize your spouse's faults; if it

weren't for them, your mate might have found someone better

than you! ~ Jay Trachman

'Here's the fax, LIVE LIFE TO THE MAX!'

If you're going to make the incredible effort to be born, then why not live your life to the MAX. It makes sense, doesn't it? Why do it half shod? Why only let the throttle out half way? Put your foot flat to the floor, spin the wheels, burn some rubber and let loose with a 'Yahoo' as you tear up the road in your supercharged hot rod of a life that is yours to live. Too many of us try to play it safe and at the end of the road we find ourselves trapped in self-imposed security. But you know and I know that there's only one life to live, so let's LIVE it.

Your INPUT will determine your OUTPUT!

'Your INPUT will determine your OUTPUT, so guard

what you PUT IN and you won't be PUT OUT!'

 

Take particular care as to what you allow to enter both your

ear and eye gates. For what you allow to pass through here

will determine what comes forth from your mouth and will

be demonstrated through your actions. It will determine what

fills your mind and will ultimately influence your destiny.

Imagine having a sentry on guard twenty-four hours a day

and seven days a week. Choose to avoid certain places, switch

channels on the television and refuse to be bombarded by

unwanted visual or verbal stimuli that is not healthy for your

ongoing personal development. Say 'no' to the mediocre and

only 'yes' to the excellent.
