9. • One day a partially deaf four year old kid came home
with a note in his pocket from his teacher, "Your Tommy
is too stupid to learn, get him out of the school." His
mother read the note and answered, "My Tommy is not
stupid to learn, I will teach him myself." And that Tommy
grew up to be the great Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison
had only three months of formal schooling and he was
partially deaf.
• In 1914, Thomas Edison, at age 67, lost his
factory, which was worth a few million dollars, to fire. It
had very little insurance. No longer a young man, Edison
watched his lifetime effort go up in smoke and
said, "There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes
are burnt up. Thank God we can start anew." In spite of
disaster, three weeks later, he invented the phonograph.
10. o Desire- A burning desire is the starting point of all
accomplish-ment. Just like a small fire cannot give
much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great
results.
o Commitment- The quality of a person's life is in
direct proportion to their commitment to
excellence, regardless of their chosen field of
endeavor.
Vince Lombardi
o Responsibility- Responsible people accept and
learn from their mistakes.
11. o Hard Work- The average person puts only 25% of his energy and
ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in
more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those
few and far between souls who devote 100%.
--Andrew Carnegie
o Character- George Washington said, "I hope I shall always
possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the
most valuable of all titles, the character of an honest man."
o Positive Believing- Positive believing is an attitude of
confidence that comes with preparation.
12. o Give more than you get - Winners put in 100% and then
some more.
o Persistence - Nothing will take the place of persistence. Talent
will not : Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with
talent . Genius will not : Unrewarded genius is a proverb.
Education will not: The world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
--Calvin Coolidge
