“The most important step a person can take – it’s not the first one, is it? It’s the next one. Always the next step.” – Brandon Sanderson
A New Day
“This is the beginning of a new day. God has given you this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good, but what you do today is important, because you are exchanging a day of your life for it! When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that you have traded for it. Let it be gain, and not loss; good and not evil; success, and not failure, in order that you shall not regret the price that you have paid for it. Let it be something good.” – Dr. Heartsill Wilson
Do It Yourself Repairs
When a guy’s printer type began to grow faint, he called a local repair shop where a friendly man informed him that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned. Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he told him he might be better off reading the printer’s manual and trying the job himself.
Pleasantly surprised by his candor, he asked, “Does your boss know that you discourage business?” “Actually, it’s my boss’s idea,” the employee replied sheepishly. “We usually make more money on repairs if we let people try to fix things themselves first.”
