William Arthur Ward

Before You
Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.

Do More
Do more than belong: participate.
Do more than care: help.
Do more than believe: practice.
Do more than be fair: be kind.
Do more than forgive: forget.
Do more than dream: work.

We Must
We must be silent before we can listen.
We must listen before we can learn.
We must learn before we can prepare.
We must prepare before we can serve.
We must serve before we can lead.​.

Decisions

Values + Goals -> Priorities -> Decisions
--------------
Don't make your decisions based on what you fear or what you could lose, make the your decisions based on what you can gain
--------------​
Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.
--------------​​
Follow the trend lines not the headlines
--------------​​​
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
--------------​​​​
If you want to do something new, then stop doing something old.
