Commitment
 
Is what transforms a promise into reality.  It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions and the actions which speak louder than the words.  It is making time when there is none.  Coming through time after time after time, year after year.  The stuff character is made of and the power to change the face of things It’s the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.
 
 
Attitude
 
By Charles Swindoll
 
The Longer I live, The More I Realize The Impact
Of Attitude On Life.
Attitude, To Me, Is More Important Than Facts.
It Is More Important Than The Past,
Than Education, Than Money,
Than Circumstances, Than Failures,
Than Success,
Than What Other People Think
Or Say Or Do.
It is More Important Than Appearance,
Giftedness Or Skill.
It Will Make Or Break An Organization...
A School, A Home.
The Remarkable Thing Is We Have A Choice
Everyday Regarding The Attitude We Will
Embrace For That Day.
We Cannot Change Our Past...
We Cannot Change The Fact That People Will
Act In A Certain Way.
We Cannot Change The Inevitable.
The Only Thing We Can Do Is Play On The One
String We Have.
And That Is Our Attitude
I Am Convinced That Life Is 10%
What Happens To Me and 90% How I React To It.
And So It Is With You...
 
 
"EVERY DAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO WIN!"
-Dr. William E. Martinov, Jr.
 
ENTHUSIASM
 
You can DO anything if you have enthusiasm. 
Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars.  Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eye.
 
It is the swing of your gait, the grip of your hand,  the irresistible surge of your will and your energy to execute your ideas.  Enthusiasts are fighters.  They have fortitude.
 
They have staying qualities. 
Enthusiasm is at the bottom of ALL progress. 
With it, there is accomplishment.  Without it, there is only alibis.
-Henry Ford
 
It’s All In a State of Mind
 
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not; you don’t
If you like to win but you don’t think you can,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost
For out in the world you’ll find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in a state of mind.
 
For many a game is lost
Ere even a play is run,
And many a coward fails
Ere even his work is begun.
Think big, and your deeds will grow;
Think small, and you’ll fall behind;
Think that you can, and you will;
It’s all in a state of mind.
 
If you think that you are outclassed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
 
-Often quoted by Nick Mourouzis, 
 Head Football Coach
DePauw University, 1981-2003
*(Winningest coach in school History)
