I came across two quotes today that cause me to really think. One was posted by a Facebook friend and the other was something I came across in an article on leadership. I wanted to post them here so I’d have them.

First, from Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser –

“It is easier to work with someone with a great attitude and a little bit of talent rather than someone with lots of talent and a bad attitude.”

I won’t lie, this kicked me in the teeth. I think attitude is something you really need to work at, and frankly, sometimes the circumstances make it very difficult to stay positive. I have a hard time with this and hope to keep my attitude on the positive side – even when every thing around me seems to be falling apart.

The second quote was posted my my friend Kathy –

“You still haven’t met all of the people who are going to love you.”

I had to re-read that two or three times, just because it blew me away! It is almost hard to comprehend. Yet, at the same time, when you really think on it – it makes sense. I think about the people I met late in my life who I have come to love dearly (and vice versa). At one point prior to meeting, that quote was true. It still is true. Future friends, future grandchildren, future in-laws, etc…

The quote is powerful and deep.

What about you? Have you heard something that really made you think? Was there a quote that really spoke to you?
