Your Goals: Which Roads Will You Travel?
"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where
the goalposts are"
-Arnold H. Glasgow
Thomas S. Monson tells the following true story:
I remember a time when driving to my home years ago, I approached the entrance to Interstate 15. At the on-ramp I noticed three hitchhikers, each one of whom carried a homemade sign that announced his desired destination. One sign read “Los Angeles,” while a second carried the designation “Boise.” However, it was the third sign that not only caught my attention, but also caused me to reflect and ponder its message. The hitchhiker had lettered not Los Angeles, California, nor Boise, Idaho, on the cardboard sign he held aloft. Rather, his sign consisted of but one word and read simply “Anywhere.” (Thomas S. Monson, “Which Road Will You Travel?,” Ensign, Mar 1991, 2)

Humility
"Humility is royalty without a crown"
-Spencer W. Kimball
Spencer W. Kimball - Humility is teachableness-an ability to realize that all virtues and abilities are not concentrated in one's self. . . .
Humility is never accusing nor contentious. . . .
Humility is repentant and seeks not to justify its follies. It is forgiving others in the realization that there may be errors of the same kind or worse chalked up against itself. . . .
Humility makes no bid for popularity and notoriety; demands no honors. . . .
It is not self-abasement-the hiding in the corner, the devaluation of everything one does or thinks or says; but it is the doing of one's best in every case and leaving of one's acts, expressions, and accomplishments to largely speak for themselves. ("Humility," Brigham Young University Speeches of the Year, Provo, Utah, 16 Jan. 1963) TLDP:292; DCSM:27

The Winning Attitude
Students, I came across this poem, and I immediately thought of 'Attitude' that we are discussing and blogging about in class. I challenge all of you to change your attitudes to the "Winners" attitude, and, consequently, you will become and remain a WINNER.
Winners Are People Like You

Winners take chances. Like everyone else, they fear failing,
but they refuse to let fear control them.
Winners don't give up. When life gets rough, they hang in
until the going gets better.
Winners are flexible. They realize there is more than one
way and are willing to try others.
Winners know they are not perfect. They respect their
weaknesses while making the most of their strengths.
Winners fall but they don't stay down. They stubbornly refuse
to let a fall keep them from climbing.
Winners don't blame fate for their failures, nor luck for their successes.
Winners accept responsibility for their lives.
Winners are positive thinkers who see good in all things.
From the ordinary, they make the extraordinary.
Winners believe in the path they have chosen even when it
is hard, even when others can't see where they are going.
Winners are patient. They know a goal is only worthy
as the effort that is required to achieve it.
Winners are people that believe in themselves.
They make this world a better place to be.
