MASTERY

"A professional is a person who can do his best at a time when he doesn't particularly feel like it." -- Alistair Cooke

"If I work on a certain move constantly, then finally, it doesn’t seem risky to me. The idea is that the move stays dangerous and it looks dangerous to my foes, but it is not to me. Hard work has made it easy." -- Nadia Comaneci

"We have not wings we cannot soar; but, we have feet to scale and climb, by slow degrees, by more and more, the cloudy summits of our time." -- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist." -- Louis Nizer

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you get rained out.

It now costs more to amuse a child than it once did to educate his father.

Hi Marilyn,

The last one is a really sad fact!

Thanks for sharing.

Powerful stuff,

I have never heard the Louis Nizer quote before, I like that.

Thank you for the great quotes Marilyn.
I especially like the one by Louis Nizer.

I find that I have mastered something when
I have lost all fear of doing it. It was in the
state of inspiration and total lack of fear
that I have done my best work.

Not only the hands and brain, but
the heart. The hands gives us how,
the brain gives us what, and the
heart gives us the why.

This must be what Louis was speaking
about. The artist.

Hello Marilyn,

These are some great quotes, but i have to admit that the one that really caught my eye and made me chuckle is this one

"It now costs more to amuse a child than it once did to educate his father."

Well it is better to laugh than cry
