Without determining what is truly important, everything becomes urgent, and, in practice then, nothing is important. - Daniel Wegner Choosing to live your life by your own choice is the greatest freedom you will ever have. It is only when you exercise your right to choose that you can also exercise your right to change. The end result of your life here on earth will always be the sum total of the choices you made while you were here. - Shad Helmstetter If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes. - Andrew Carnegie Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives choice not chance, determines your destiny. - Aristotle
