How do you define success?
• Marry the right person. This one decision will
determine 90% of your happiness or misery.
Find someone special to love. Don’t give away parts of
yourself to many people, for when you find someone who is
right there will be nothing left but an empty shell. The person
you want to spend your life with should be your best friend;
over time that will be more important than you now realize.
• Work at something you enjoy and that's
worthy of your time and talent.
Children and friends will come
and go but your work will
remain constant. Find
something to do that will make
a positive impact on your little
corner of the world.
“I am a music educator
because it combines the two
things I am passionate about;
Teaching and crazy people.

somewhere I believe..”

Give people more
than they expect
and do it cheerfully
Dr. Johnny Hunt - LOVELOUD
• Become the most positive and
enthusiastic person you know!
• Be generous.
“Lose yourself in generous
service and every day can be a
most unusual day, an
abundantly rewarding day!”
– William Arthur Ward
Be generous!
Don’t think twice about it.
If you see a need that you can fill, then do it!
Blessings come back from kindness ten-fold.
He who receives all
things with
gratefulness shall be
made glorious
- Doctrine & Covenants 78:19

Hope for the best yet
prepare for the worst.
Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
- Golden Rule -
Do something nice for somebody else every day.
I promise, you will not regret it.
Commit yourself to constant improvement!
You’d be amazed how a
little bit of extra work
pays off in the end!
Commit yourself to quality
“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.”
–Henry Ford
Always give your best, even if someone thinks it isn’t
good enough. Pride in knowing you did the best that
you could is better than reaching someone else's
standards.
Understand that happiness is not based on
possessions, power or prestige, but on
relationships with people you love & respect.
Most people are about as happy as they make
up their minds to be
-Abraham Lincoln
Make a conscious decision to be happy, make
it a goal, and just do it! Nobody can make
you feel bad without you letting them. Be
positive and remember one thing- Smile!
Be loyal
“The greater the loyalty of a group toward the
group, the greater is the motivation among the
members to achieve the goals of the group,
and the greater the probability that the group
will achieve its goals.” - Rensis Likert
Marines and DCI – You’ll never find
more personal loyalty towards a
group.
Except maybe crazy football fans..
Be honest!
Always be truthful, even if it will get
you in trouble! Never ever
compromise your integrity! You’ll
always regret it later on!
Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive!
~ William Shakespeare
Be a self-starter.
Sometimes you just
have to supply your
own initiative and
inspiration.
Do something and do it
because you want to.
"Success seems to be connected with
action. Successful people keep moving.
They make mistakes, but they don't quit.”
–Conrad Hilton
Be decisive even if it means you'll
sometimes be wrong.
Decisiveness is a two-faced coin.
-Make your decision and
be steadfast. Don’t go back
and forth on your choice.
-But always be able to see
reason and to be able to
admit you were wrong
"Be willing to make decisions. Don't fall victim to what I call the readyaim-aim-aim-aim syndrome. You must be willing to fire.“
-T. Boone Pickens
Stop blaming others. Take responsibility
for every area of your life.
The man who complains
most about the way the
ball bounces is likely to be
the one who dropped it.“
-Lou Holtz
Responsibility is hard to have sometimes,
especially when you have to take the blame for a
mistake or something bad, but it makes you a
better person if you own up for your own actions.
Nobody can live your life for you, so you’re in
control, for better or for worse.
Be bold and courageous. When you look back
on your life, you'll regret the things you
didn't do more than the ones you did.
“The person who
risks nothing, does
nothing, has nothing,
is nothing, and
becomes nothing.
He may avoid
suffering and
sorrow, but he
simply cannot learn
and feel and change
and grow and love
and live.”
It is easier to get forgiveness, rather
than permission. Especially in matters
that count, but don’t abuse it either.
-Leo F. Buscaglia
Take good care of those you love.
Family. Best friends. Even people you just know and aren’t too great of
friends with. Everyone is out there to help you if you need it, but be
kind to them in return. Always stick with your friends through their
hard times, because one day you’ll need them most, and you’ll want
them to be there for you too. And when there's
nothing left, your family will always be there.
To us, family means putting your arms around
each other and being there. ~Barbara Bush
Don't do anything that wouldn't
make your Momma proud.
Nothing feels worse than disappointing your Mommy.. & no matter
what she says, she’ll always love you no matter what.
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will
always find forgiveness. ~Honoré de Balzac
