Here is a quote from someone important in my life, this person will know who he is when he reads it so no need to put a name to it. This is a quote that I think about every day and I do my best to abide by it every day, so I feel the need to pass it on.

" Stay in the books & be a good person"

This person has helped me in so many ways and this is the only thing he has ever asked of me. THANK YOU!

Success is more attitude than aptitude


Motivation is what gets you started
Habit is what keeps you going


When you are not training, someone else is, and when you meet him, he will win (in our business, "he" is a fire" -- who doesn't need to train!)
