Come....
Come with warm feelings of friendship
Bring your intellegence
Your energy and your passion
To join with your good works
Burn always in your soul
You are welcome here

kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual
inspiration that comes to one when they discover that someone
else believes in them and is willing to trust them."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the
moments when you really lived are the moments when you
have done things in the spirit of love."
-- Henry Drummond Life
There are points of time in the journey of
life that we experience special growth.
In these times of awakening we see things we
had not noticed before, we get little pieces
of enlightenment that help us more clearly
understand that which had previously eluded
us, we become at peace with a great mystery
of life. These times are a challenge, an
opportunity, a fantastic chance for us to take
ourselves to another level.
Be it professionally, spiritually, emotionally,
or in our relationships with those important to
us, these experiences allow us to do great things.
Seize them when they present themselves, do not
let them pass you by.
Thaddeous Samuel Canfeild
Our One Choice
All men and women are born, live suffer and die; what distinguishes us
one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or
unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... We do not
choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose
our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate
circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die;
nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. But within this
realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.
Joseph Epstein in The Virtue Of Ambition
Seek not outside yourself, heaven is within.
-Mary Lou Cook

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
We will arive where we started
And know that place for the first time.

The body Must be nourished physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We are spiritually starved in this culture, not under fed, but under nourished.

Whatever you can do or dream you can,
begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and
power in it. Begin it now.
Goethe
The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves,
but in our attitude towards them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You have within you at this very moment the precise tools
you will need to get all you truly want from life. Only you
decide to use them. Only you can decide where they will
take you.
Thaddeous Samuel Canfeild
Once an old Construction Manager by the name of Junnie
walked out of his office and approached the owner of the of the
company doing all of the concrete work on Junnie's job. Junnie
noticed the man's car - a brand new red Mercedes v12 SL (convertible).
Junnie marveled at it and said " Wow a Mercedes ..... I always have
wanted one of those" the concrete man replied almost immediately
"Bull-XXXX Junnie, you wish you had one. If you really wanted one, you
would have figured out a way to get it!"
Are you wishing aimlessly or are you wanting purposefully?
The good man does not greive that other people do not recognize his merits. His only anxiety is lest he should fail to recognize theirs.
Confucius
Once employees see that what they do makes a difference to the organization and is valued, they will perform at higher levels.

Words have great power and should be used carefully. Aloha, for example, should not be seen as a frivolous tourist greeting. Alo means the bosom or center of the universe, and ha, the breath of God, so to say this word is to appreciate another's divinity.

Hawaiian Kupuna
Let everything you do be done as if it makes a difference.
William James
Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages
to its present state of civilization.
Imagination led Columbus to discover America.
Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.
Imagination has given us the steam engine,
the telephone the talking-machine, and the automobile,
for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities.
So I believe that dreams -- daydreams, you know, with your eyes wide open
and your brain machinery whizzing
--are likely to lead to the betterment of the world.
The imaginative child will become the imaginative man or woman
most apt to invent, and therefore to foster, civilization.
L. Frank Baum
Our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius Antonius

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"If a man is called a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or
Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all
the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job
well."
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.

stop you from doing what is right. (Isaac Asimov)
One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of
contentment. (Merle Shain)
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents
determinism; the way you play it is free will.

Every successful man I have heard of has done the best he could

Three Rules of Work
To Dare To Dream
Author: Rev. John Abbott during the turbulent 60's to record what he
thought he heard students saying.
To dare to dream
that for every question there's an answer...
for every answer yet another question...
and that in the asking there is renewed adventure...
in that daring and dreaming
is a symphony of ambition.
To dare to dream
that my thinking and understanding
might be heard and find its way
into the shape of the future --
in that daring and dreaming
is my energy for today.
To dare to dream
that my skills
might affect the destiny
of other people --
in that daring and dreaming
is my hope for tomorrow.
To dare to dream
that the yearnings of my soul
have a purpose which
only I can find --
in that daring and dreaming
is the road to discovery.
To dare to dream
that the spirit of school
might continue in me --
tempered with time, but relevant --
in that daring and dreaming
is a yet greater symphony.
