"View life as a learning opportunity. Ask God what He wants you to learn from the situations you face. . . . When we set aside specific time to listen, He often encourages us with His presence and promises, and interprets to some degree the circumstances of life. Take advantage of the natural lull after hard times when you're pulling together the pieces to sort through the events and ferret out the lessons."

-- Jean Fleming

“Doing the right thing is important, which is where strategy comes in. But doing that thing wellâ€”executionâ€”is what sets companies apart. After all, every football play is designed to go for a huge gain. The reason it doesnâ€™t is because of executionâ€”people drop balls, miss blocks, go to the wrong place, and so forth. So, success depends on executionâ€”on the ability to get things done.”
