Here's Note #25 on Time.

Most of us work to live. 

We do not live to work. 

Who are people you know and love who give special meaning to your life?

You’ve got all the time you will ever have. 

Who do you choose to “spend” it with?

Here's Note #27 on Gratitude.

It is not uncommon to dwell on hardship before blessings.

While this is understandable, it is neither healthy nor advisable if you expect circumstances and opportunities to improve.

Count your blessings!

Here's Note #29 on Finishing Strong!

In Spring, we made plans and sowed many seeds. 

Throughout Summer we tended our gardens and prepared for great harvest.

Now, in Autumn, we reap what we have sown.

There is little time left before winter and much work yet to do.

For some, the harvest will be bountiful.

For others, it may be disappointing.

For all, we must gather, store, and give thanks for what we have grown!

Hello I'm Brian Cooke.

Here's Note #2 on Fundamentals for Career Advancement.

Although talent is an asset, you must use it effectively to achieve big goals.

We may be blessed with speed of a rabbit or persistence of a tortoise but we must run each race to the best of our ability if we expect to win.
