Three Rules for Success!

Three Rules for Success
1. Do what's right. Be on time, be polite, and be honest; remain free from drugs; and if you have any questions, get out your Bible.

2. Do your best. Mediocrity is unacceptable when you are capable of doing better.

3. Treat others as you want to be treated. Practice love and understanding.

Have a great day - Chris!

Patriotic Horse Finds A Home At Veterans’ Park

OCALA - About 40 people attended the unveiling of a sculpture at the Marion County Veterans Memorial Park on Friday. While the upcoming election was a hot topic for those asked to speak, the gathering mainly commemorated the veterans of Ocala and Marion County.

The day was windy and clear, and for most of the hour-long program, a blue tarp covered the sculpture.
Called "Hero," the horse-shaped sculpture is similar to the statues in Horse Fever, the public art exhibition organized in Ocala several years ago.
Chris Spears, owner of Prestige Auto Sales, commissioned the artwork after he saw local artist Kim Samson's contribution to Horse Fever, "Old Glory," another patriotically-themed horse sculpture. He called Samson a "good friend and customer."

"When I called Kim, her heart jumped out at the chance," Spears said.
Samson painted stars and stripes, the Department of Defense seal and other symbols of patriotism on "Hero."

Marion County community resources bureau chief Lee Niblock introduced several government officials, including U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Dist. 6) and city of Ocala mayor Randy Ewers.

"In a few days, we're going to elect a new president. Many people don't have these liberties," Ewers said of the right to vote, and thanked veterans for preserving it.

Niblock also reminded the audience of the upcoming election as he praised veterans' service to the country. He held up a sample ballot. "To honor those who couldn't be here because they made the ultimate sacrifice, please go vote," he said.

After the speakers made remarks, Niblock asked the crowd to count down from 10. As they did, the tarp slowly came off the statue as the Spears family and Marion County and Ocala officials gathered in front. They cut a large red ribbon when the crowd made it to "one" and began to applaud.

The side of the horse facing Northeast 25th Avenue shows six local veterans. The third veteran on the left is Dewy Roberson, 85, who served in the U.S. Air Force. He volunteers at the park, and said he hopes the horse draws more people to visit. Samson painted his portrait from a photo Roberson gave to her. "Finest thing it could be," Roberson said of the result. He posed for a snapshot with family members next to the horse.

Spears' young daughter, Savannah, named the horse "Hero," picking it from a list of ideas he gave her.

Thought For The Day!

LEADERSHIP

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

If you share a good idea long enough, it will eventually fall on good people.

Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.

Leaders, whether in the family, in business, in government, or in education, must not allow themselves to mistake intentions for accomplishments.

Learn to help people with more than just their jobs; help them with their lives.

Have a great day!

Overcome Negativity!

Overcome Negativity

We must all wage an intense, lifelong battle against the constant downward pull. If we relax, the bugs and the weeds of negativity will move into the garden and take away everything of value.

Humility is a virtue, timidity is a disease.

If you spend five minutes complaining, you have just wasted five minutes. If you continue complaining, it won’t be long before they haul you out to a financial desert and there let you choke on the dust of your own regret.

You cannot take the mild approach to the weeds in your garden. You’ve got to hate weeds enough to kill them. Weeds are not something you handle; weeds are something you devastate.

All I would tell people is to hold onto what was individual about themselves, not to allow their ambition for success to cause them to try to imitate the success of others. You've got to find it on your own terms. -- Harrison Ford

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." -- Teddy Roosevelt

BASIC FUNDAMENTALS

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals.

There are no new fundamentals. You’ve got to be a little suspicious of someone who says, “I’ve got a new fundamental.” That’s like someone inviting you to tour a factory where they are manufacturing antiques.

Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn’t going to get the job done.

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.
