Interesting Way to Avoid Poverty


Motivational Power Quote

Interesting Way to Avoid Poverty
“You need to do things in this country to avoid poverty – finish
high school, marry before having a child and marry after the
age 20.Only 8 percent of the families who do this are poor;
79 percent of those who fail to do this are poor .”
William Galston, Chair in Studies and Fellow at the
Brookings Institution


As I see it . . . . . . .

Interesting way to avoid poverty

They sound so simple . . . . could they be true?

Could a person prevent living a lifetime of poverty .  . . . by finishing high school?

Is it a good idea to wait to be married . . . . before you have a child?

What about waiting to be married until you’re . . . .  after the of age 20?

What I find interesting is that only 8% of the families who follow those 3 simple steps life a life in poverty . . . . 79% of the people who fail to follow the steps are poor.

Is there a lesson to be learned in the quote? And how is that lesson passed onto the children . . . . so they live a life without poverty?
 
is there a success tip embedded in the quote?

Interesting way to avoid poverty . . . .

The Best in Your Life


Motivational Power Quote

The Best in Your Life
“The best day of your life is one on which you decide your life is
your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on,
or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey and you
alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day
that your really begins.”
Bob Moawad 1941 – 2007, Author, Motivational Speaker

 
As I see it . . . . . . .

The best day in your life

There are many special moments in your life . . . . that are meant to be remembered and treasured.

The best day in your life is the day you decide to take the personal responsibility for it. That day becomes a breakthrough day in your life. One in which you make the decision who you are . . . . who you want to become . . . . what you want to achieve . . . . and you take the responsible to make it a reality.

In taking responsibility you look past how others can influence your life . . . . and you look inward to take control of your life and your future.

The best day in your life . . . . is the day you take personal responsibility for it and for your future.

Today Really Counts


Motivational Power Quote

Today Really Counts
“What you do today can change the course of your life-far
into the future. Today really counts.”
Ralph S. Marston Jr. Writer

As I see it . . . . . . .

Today really counts

Today is an important day in your life . . . . you have been blessed with 24 precious hours.

The day is you’re to use in any way you choose . . . .  The one sure thing about today is it will never come your way again. You can use the 24 hours that you have been given in a way to contribute to your future and your future success. Or you can let the day slip away without creating value in your life now or in the future.

Today is a day . . . . that can create a breakthrough in your life . . . . When you grasp the opportunities in your day offers and use it to build a bridge to tomorrow based on your productive activities.

Each day stands alone for 24 hours . . . . and then becomes a collection of days that shape your future.

Today really counts . . . . in building a strong foundation for your future . . . . When you approach each day as a precious resource on your success journey you create a positive environment one that will stretch you forward into greater opportunities and success.

Difficulties Will . . . .


Motivational Power Quote

Difficulties Will . . . .
“The more difficulties one has to encounter within and without the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be.”
Horace Bushnell 1802 – 1876, American Congregational
Minster and Theologian

As I see it . . . . . . .

Difficulties will . . . .

Difficulties will . . . . inspirer one person to look at their difficulties realistically and with commitment and determination focus on successfully working their way through them.  

While another person, will look at their difficulties as a mountain to high to climb . . . .  and they will spend a lot of time worrying about them. While at the same time they do their best to deny them.

The person who addresses their difficulties . . . . is facing the challenge at hand. By facing the difficulties they will be in a far better position  to search for the best solution and be proactive apply what has to be done to resolve the difficulties .

The person that’s in denial about the difficulties . . . . allows themselves to become overwhelmed by the difficulties.

The person that’s faces their difficulties takes control of how and what they will do about resolving the difficulties. By taking control of their difficulties by control the resolution of the difficulties.

Difficulties will . . . . will bring out a person’s true character .

The Delbert Principle of Ineffective Workers


Motivational Power Quote

The Delbert Principle of Ineffective Workers
“The Dilbert Principle: The most ineffective workers are
systematically moved to the place where they can do
the least damage.”
Scott Adams, American Cartoonist

As I see it . . . . . . .

The Delbert Principle of ineffective workers

They can be in every walk of life . . . .

Sometimes there’s hired as a favor and nobody knows what they will do with them . . . . They are just there collecting money and taking up space for no good reason and without a real job or purpose.

People hide them in an organization so they don’t have to become accountable for them . . . . and make believe that they don’t exist.

For reasons beyond belief they get promoted . . . . and reach a higher level of being incompetent. People around them cover for them and blame other people for their mistakes and failures.

Over time they become a Teflon executive . . . . and one day they are put into a position where they’re way over their head.

What happens next . . . .  the company finds themselves being managed out of business.

The Delbert Principle of ineffective workers  . . . . Is being moved forward in an organization where they should have never been hired in the first place. Or where they should have been terminated but someone always seems to step in and cover for them.
