RANDOM THOUGHTS ON WHAT IT TAKES TO BE SUCCESFUL


I am spending the day working on our team notebooks and looking for some motivational quotes to splash throughout the the notebook and here are a few I'm going to use.

-Colin Powell

“People with a to have mentality are obsessed with what they get out of their jobs: a bigger salary and all that they can buy; promotions and status; recognition and fame.
