Show Notes
Who said it...
- "What we do, we do well. What we don't do well, we don't do at all." -Dr. Thomas F. Freeman, Texas Southern University Debate Team Coach
- "In reality, the people who live best tie themselves down. They don’t ask: What cool thing can I do next? They ask: What is my responsibility here? They respond to some problem or get called out of themselves by a deep love. By planting themselves in one neighborhood, one organization or one mission, they earn trust. They have the freedom to make a lasting difference. It’s the chains we choose that set us free." -Author David Brooks
- "Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm." -Winston Churchill
- "We're all equal before a wave." -Laird Hamilton
- "Choices are the puzzle pieces of life, so choose...oh yeah!" -Mister Brown
- "It's time to turn it over to women! Men have had their chance to run the world and look where we are!" -Lenny Kravitz
- "Rich is an expansion of your soul. Wealth is what you have as a result of things you've done but to be rich means that you have qualities, you have experiences, you have an expanded heart." -Gail Miller
