OK

I subscribe to Bits and Pieces. A great little motivational magazine. Here are some examples of what they publish:

Most people who attain success have learned to forget past failure and concentrate on present goals. Baseball great Babe Ruth was once asked what he thought about when he struck out.

"I think about hitting home runs," the Babe answered.

"Criticism is something we can avoid easily -- by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

--Aristotle (384 - 322 B.C.)

"If you pay a person less than he earns, he will soon be earning less than he's paid." -- David Westlake

"The impossible: what nobody can do until somebody does."

"It never occurs to teenagers that someday they will know as little as their parents."

These are examples from the latest issue of "Bits and Pieces" published by The Economist

Mr. Rhino

Oh, and of course a quote from "Rhinocerous Success" by Scott Alexander a book that changed my life and sometimes my name :

"You have to give to get"
