No, this is not going to be a review of Donald Trump’s twitter account. After all, there have been 44 other presidents in the history of our country.
It would benefit everyone to go back and look at the wisdom shared by the great people who have held the highest office in the United States.
Today, we have compiled some advice to ponder as you go about your Monday.
“99% of failures come from people who make excuses.”-George Washington
Folks that make excuses instead of finding solutions to problems do not get too far. Sounds like old Georgy didn’t have much of tolerance for it either. Smart guy.
"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."- Thomas Jefferson
Attitude is everything. It is hard to remind yourself of this principle on a Monday, but if you can, you can win the day.
“It is easier to do a job right, than to explain why you didn’t”- Martin Van Buren
Do the job the right way. In the end, it will make everything easier. This is also the first time I have thought about Martin Van Buren since high school.
“I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards” ― Abraham Lincoln
Progress is more important than speed. Continue to refine yourself, day-in and day-out. Oh, and never walk backwards, especially through a cornfield.
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
Resourcefulness is something we take for granted too often in this technologically driven world. If you can make due with what is available, you will always be able to give value.
“It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” ― Harry S. Truman
This is as true as it is funny. Sometimes making things happen means shuddering your ego a bit.
“Pessimism never won any battle.” – Dwight Eisenhower
If you are a negative person, you are going to lose. Remember that. Remind yourself of that. Seriously.
“One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.” ― John F. Kennedy
Go make a difference, however big or small. Do it.
