Then on the way out, slam the door." - Jack Handy, Deep Thoughts "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." - Calvin Coolidge "Now is the time to live your ideal life." - Phil Cousineau "Be open to receiving the good that comes to you each day." - Doreen Virtue | about
