Notes and Quotes

Tomorrow evening this time, I plan to be in Orlando with Ashley. We two girls are going to take in Disney World. We are so excited! It was an impromptu idea, but fortunately a room was available in one of the Disney All Star Resorts. Now at 9:30 at night, there is still much to do in order to leave in the morning, and I must get it all done to have a successful trip. To quote John Wooden the great basketball coach and teacher who died yesterday, (or was it Benjamin Franklin who said it?) "Failing to plan is planning to fail."

By the way...here are some other John Wooden quotes that I plagiarized from another web site.

10. The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones.

9. If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes.

8. Adversity is the state in which man most easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.

7. Never mistake activity for achievement.

6. Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.

5. Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.

4. Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

3. Ability is a poor man's wealth.

2. Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

1. You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
