Page 1: Ability Is What You

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks

too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.---- BARACK OBAMA

BARBARA JORDAN:

All my growth and development led me to believe that if you really do the right

thing, and if you play by the rules, and if you've got good enough, solid judgment

and common sense, that you're going to be able to do whatever you want to do

with your life.

COCO CHANEL:

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to

be someone.

to succeed.

the things you want to see happen.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT:

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing

makes it happen.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT:

Page 3: Ability Is What You

My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that

but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about

success.

HELEN KELLER:

I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish

pushes of each honest worker.

withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only

the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do
