SUCCESS
“Success or failure in business is caused more by mental attitude than by mental capacities.”
-- Walter Dill Scott

Great set of quotes, Joni!
Helen Keller - what an amazing woman! - was so wise. Imagine what we could accomplish when we work together for a common cause.

Hemingway say this so well. No matter how much I learn, I'm always amazed the windows this opens to new possibilities and that I've only managed the tip of a universe-size iceberg...

This way if you get it wrong AFTER a re-write, then you know you're doing something wrong. :)
