“Each of us will one day be judged by our standard of life, not by our standard of living; by our measure of giving, not by our measure of wealth; by our simple goodness, not by our seeming greatness.” – William Arthur Ward

What Will Work Next?
“We all recognize the value of experience. It’s useful to know what has worked in the past. But I believe that one of the greatest enemies of future success is past success. If I am successful, that means I know what used to work. I can tell you how to succeed up until today. In business, current success means you can compete and win in markets that no longer exist – because the marketplace changes every day. What got you to your current level of success just may be what’s keeping you from getting to the next level. Be willing to let go of what used to work. Be open to what will work next.” – Joe Calloway
Passing Gas
A little old lady goes to the doctor and says, “Doctor, I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn’t bother me too much. They never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact I’ve passed gas at least 20 times since I’ve been here in your office. You didn’t know I was passing gas because they don’t smell and are silent.”
The doctor says, “I see. Take these pills and come back to see me next week.”
The next week the lady goes back. “Doctor,” she says, “I don’t know what the heck you gave me, but now when I pass gas although still silent they stink terribly.”
“Good,” the doctor said, “now that we’ve cleared up your sinuses, let’s work on your hearing.”
