To Understand

To Understand

“To understand comes from wisdom . . . . To know what to

do with what you understand takes wisdom.

To acquire wisdom is a life long journey.”

Lou Ludwig, Sales and Management Consultant,

Success Coach, Speaker, Trainer and Author

As I see it . . . . . . . .

To Understand

Wisdom . . . . comes through our experiences throughout our lifetime. Wisdom is a result from trial . . . . error . . . from our successes . . . . from our setbacks . . . . and from failure. Having an open mind, and learning from our life experiences becomes a stepping stone to acquiring wisdom.

Wisdom . . . . gives us the insight to do things in a more efficient and productive manner. Wisdom will also become the red flag on the things to avoid. And that gut feeling that we’re on the right track . . . . and when we get off track.

Wisdom . . . . contributes to your success . . . . and helps you to make better decisions to create that success.

Wisdom . . . . is not acquired in a class room . . . . It’s acquired in the school of hard knocks from a life time of experiences.   

To understand is wisdom . . . . to know what to do with what you understand takes wisdom. When you have wisdom you will do the right thing.

Experience is a Marvelous Thing

Motivational Power Quote

Experience is a Marvelous Thing

“Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to

recognize a mistake when you make it again.”

Franklin P. Jones 1908 – 1980, Journalist

As I see it . . . . . . .

Experience is a marvelous thing

It’s that little voice playing in the background of your thinking that seems to popup to tell you to keep going . . . . it also pops up and tells you to make adjustments.

That voice is the voice of your experience coming to the surface . . . . and guilds your decisions from the wisdom of your past experiences.

Your experiences are worth their weight in gold when you listen to them. They will prevent from stepping into quicksand and sinking . . . . That voice of your past experiences will come through to draw on to help you to make good choice.

Your experiences will speak to you . . . . but there are times listening becomes optional and that those time you are at the greatest risk a repeating a mistake.

Experience is a marvelous thing . . . .  in the hands of a person that will use the wisdom of their experiences.

Motivational Power Quot

Do Your Very Best and Let the Sands of Time Judge You

“I do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and

 mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings

me out all right. What is said against me won’t

amount to anything.”

Abraham Lincoln 1809 – 1865, 16^th President of the United States

As I see it . . . . . . .

Do your very best and let the sands of time judge you 

All you can do . . . . is all you can do when it’s your very best.

Abraham Lincoln was a simple man that as President of the United States met the moments of his day to rise above the chaos.

The country was split over the issues of slavery . . . . and country became so divided that the country exposed into the American  Civil War in 1861 that lasted until 1865.   President Lincoln remained firm in his resolve that man that no man had a right to own another man.

Under President Lincoln’s leadership and by signing the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 into law and the American Civil War the slaves were freed.

The cost of civil war and freeing the slaves was extremely high with over 750,000 deaths between the years of 1861 to 1865.

No man is perfect . . . . But in every man there is the passion to do your very best. Only a few light the flame of their passion to do their best under very trying conditions.   

President Lincoln didn’t float a trail balloon . . . . he did is very best and what best for all American.

He could have very easily kicked the can down the road for the next president and congress to handle . . . . But he didn’t he moved to the front and lead the country through a very trying time.

Do your very best and let the sands of time judge you . . . . President Lincoln is judged for his wisdom and leadership by the sands of time.

Learning the Hard Way

Motivational Power Quote

Learning the Hard Way

“One of the things I learned the hard way

was that it doesn’t pay to get discourage.

Keep busy and making optimism a way

of life can restore your faith in yourself.”

Steve Jobs, Co-founder of Apple Computer

As I see it. . . . . . . .


Learning the hard way


Some of our best life lessons we learn will come the hard way.


In the moments of discouragement when the pressure may feel unbearable we have to have the strength of conviction that we will successfully prevail.


In those moments we have to have an optimistic look out and approach the issue with the attitude that we take control on the issue and successfully resolve it.


A positive outlook and actions will keep us busy in the resolution of the issue and not dwelling on the issue itself.


Learning the hard way is allowing the discouragement to take control of our life and becoming reactive to the situation.


Be proactive and in control of the conditions that come into our lives. Once you do you increase the odds of successfully resolving the conditions.


Learning the hard way is a life experience to move forward with wisdom.
