“Curiosity is the sign of a mind
that is free and open to the
wonders of reality, unafraid to
face the unknown in order to
grasp new knowledge. A
curious thinker will explore
new manners of looking at
things and doing things.
Learning can be an
adventure of constant
and exciting discovery
if you cultivate a
curious mind.”

Luck favors the
prepared mind.
1% inspiration;
99% perspiration
Where you
stand
depends on
where you
sit.
It takes a village.
Never worked;
and never will.
It’s a good day when…
what they are doing for
you outweighs what they
are doing to you.
[A large percentage] of success is just showing up.
