Your Future

 Steve Haymore

Charles Kettering said, "My interest is in the future because I'm going to spend the rest of my life there."

Take a serious attitude about your future because you too will spend the remainder of your life there. The past is gone and gone for good. You can look back and learn from the past, but you will live in your future; therefore, plan for your future, look forward to a bright, prosperous future, and work hard to achieve your desired future.

Leadership / Learning

"Leadership and learning are indispensible to each other."

President John F. Kennedy

The following excerp was taken from "LEAD THE FIELD", by Earl Nightingale

"Many years ago, the graduating class of a large university was given an examination in English vocabulary. The test scores were graded into groups of 5 percent---the top 5 percent, and so on to the bottom. At regular intervals during the next 20 years, questionnaires were sent to the surviving graduates, asking them their occupations, incomes, and so on. Without a single exception, those who had scored highest on the vocabulary test were in the top income group, while those who had scored lowest were in the bottom income group." (Earl Nightingale, "Lead the Field," p 52)
