WHO IS A SUCCESSFUL PERSON?
(The most successful person I have known in Grandma Maxine)

A person who lives well, laughs often, and loves all mankind;
Who gains respect of intelligent men and women and the love of little children;
Who fills one’s niche, does one’s work well, and makes the corner of the earth where
God has placed him or her a better place than it was before;
One who feels the flow of beauty in all life and never fails to voice praise for it,
Who always sees the best in other people, and lets them know it.
One whose life is an inspiration to all.
This is a successful person.

Success is not forever, and failure isn’t fatal.
Don Schula’s favorite saying

Excellence is never having learned enough.
Excellence is the gradual result of always wanting to do better.
Pat Riley in the book “The Winner Within”

Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 NIV

The hours which I have spent alone with Mr. Edison have brought me the real big returns of my life: to it I attribute all I have accomplished.
